NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell believes that the league's rookie contracts have gotten out of hand and wants the issue addressed in negotiations, according to The Associated Press. "There's something wrong about the system," Goodell said Friday. "The money should go to people who perform." He was referring to the contract Jake Long received from the Dolphins, $57.75 million over five years with $30 million guaranteed, in April. "He doesn't have to play a down in the NFL, and he already has his money," Goodell said. "Now, with the economics where they are, the consequences if you don't evaluate that player, you can lose a significant amount of money." "And that money is not going to players that are performing. It's going to a player that never makes it in the NFL. And I think that's ridiculous." Goodell said he favors lowering salaries offered to rookies but allowing a provision for those players to renegotiate their deals after proving themselves on the field.
