Ok, now here is where things will get only a little complicated. Several slides before we discussed the salaries and agreement lengths for Redskins rookies last period. Each had a deal, but while everyone hovered around $2 million a deal was signed by Robert Griffin III worth significantly more than $21 million. This difference is really because each group has what's called a One Rookie Compensation Pool". That term describes a group sum of money that each team must distribute to its beginners. It may be spread however the group needs, but it must go to rookies. There's a helpful chart from overthecap.com that delivers projections for each team's figures in 2013. The data includes "Total Cap Estimate." This is because the rookie wage scale also placesAlimits on the quantity of money that can be spent on theAtotalAvalue of rookie contracts,Aincluding bonuses, bonuses, etc... Using one case from the information, the Cleveland Browns are projected to have $5,820,766 in the Year One Compensation Pool and $31,111,340 for a Complete Cap Estimate. This means that Cleveland would be in a position to spread $5,820,766 among their draft picks during this year, butAthe whole amount of money the Browns can spend on these draft picks over four times is $31,111,340. Digest all that? Good, you are one step ahead of your pals in draft planning.
