I wouldn't be opposed to a rule that forced draft picks to sit out a year if they weren't signed by a certain date. Don't want to make a reasonable agreement? Don't play. These holdouts by guys who have never played a snap in the NFL make me so mad. It's just disrespectful to veterans and the rest of the league.

Rookie salaries is the one thing the NBA beats the NFL at. I believe almost all the NBA's rookies are already signed. The NFL has to fix this. Double D, I couldn’t agree more.

All I have to say is that if the NFL truly wants the draft to promote parity, they need to impose a slotting system for rookie salaries because the way things work now, it too often achieves the opposite effect for those near the top of the draft. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens on that front. Problem with Segal’s Catch-22 cluster-f*&k approach is that 6, 7, & 8 are even more justified in seeing #5 signed first.

That is some fantastic news. The Dorsey thing bothers me but it wasn't worrying me as much as making sure that Albert was there on day one. Thanks – I see it’s also now posted on the KCChiefs.com.

Joel Segal, (whose clientele includes no less than 2 holdouts last year – i.e., J. Russell & Levi Brown) is apparently choosing to “hold off” on talks with the Chiefs until he sees how much the other top 10 draft picks get. As somebody with a lot of years’ contract negotiation experience under my belt, I find that logic not only unappealing but completely unpersuasive. It feels like a stall tactic and in my opinion does not portend well. From where I sit, "hold off" sounds a little too much like "hold out."
