GRIDIRON ASSASSIN

The one thing that bugs me the most about the NFL is rookie holdouts and how much coin these guys are guaranteed prior to taking one snap.
NBA players sign VERY QUICKLY. In most cases, all NBA first rounders are signed before half the first rounders have signed.
Has anybody read anywhere with this latest CBA if 'rookie contracts' were going to be under the microscope?
I feel it puts a lot of NFL teams behind the 8-ball. The fact that they guarantee so much signing bonus money to guys that don't pan out (see the Cleveland Browns as an example... not to mention my beloved Chicago Bears).
