jackie hayes Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 No and yes. The rookie salary cap only covers the cap hit for the rookies 1st year of their deal, but not the whole contract. So, for instance, a team has a cap of $2 million for their frist round guy, they can only count that much the first year, but then in the second year, the player gets an option bonus of $20 million. That isn't covered by the rookie cap. Yes, people are suggesting a slotted rookie cap like the NBA has. Okay, thanks. I knew the rookie cap had those sort of loopholes, but I wasn't sure exactly what everyone was asking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
