There really needs to be a rookie salary cap. It just blows my mind how much money these unproven players get. And on top of that, how little coaches and front-office employees are paid.

What if teams weren't allowed to pay their players more than they pay their coach? I think the last few years have really highlighted how out of touch NFL rookie contracts are.
