All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Less money paid lead to quicker cuts?
The other option is teams may be more patient letting players develop, since they don't have huge salaries.
Re: Rookie Pay Scale lead to quicker cuts of busts?
I think it'll be the opposite.
Long-term, big-money contracts won't be the norm and won't be so tempting to drop. Players at the top of the draft will be more willing and able to stick around if they don't have the inflated contract as a starting point.

Also I think teams will reach more on potential Franchise QB's. Lower salary if guy turns out to be a bust
Yeah, I think Strong Bad & you are both right. Teams won't have as much at risk by taking a chance on a guy with potential & can give him time to develop. If on the other hand a guy is bad news or the team decides he doesn't have it, they can cut ties in a hurry.
Re: Rookie Pay Scale lead to quicker cuts of busts?
with a rookie pay scale your likely going to have shorter rookie contracts so its going to make these teams find out what they have a lot earlier and developing a QB a lil more difficult

There will most likely be restrictions that teams can place on players to keep them if they want. Such as the restricted FA that is in place now but it may end a year sooner.
If the rookie contract is shortened, they may put in a clause that the contract can be extended if both parties agree or lacking that clause, if a guy is still developing & both team & player are happy they will just have to reach agreement on a new contract.
If the Rookie contract is 4 years you will probably see teams sign the player to an extension after the 3rd year if they want to keep him.
Re: Rookie Pay Scale lead to quicker cuts of busts?
I believe there will be a rookie wage scale but the max number of years of their initial contract will be 4 years. No more 5 and 6 year deals for rookies.

I think it will lead to less pressure on NFL teams which would make taking risks on draft picks like these easier. As far as quicker cuts go, I don't think that will happen. Teams are just not cutting a first round selection after 2 or 3 seasons in the league. On average, most first rounders last between 4 and 6 years with their respective teams before moving on to another. On rare occasions it happens in less time, but it's rare. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Re: Rookie Pay Scale lead to quicker cuts of busts?
I think the wage scale takes the pressure off the teams and players drafted. GM's were aging like Presidents of the United States! Spending $50 million of your owners money and justifying the pick was simply problematic, in a lot of cases. It sure takes anxiety out of the picture, and allows for a positive period in the offseason, for a change. The pressure will still be found in unrestricted free agency prior to the draft in March.
