But from a player's perspective, their contracts aren't guaranteed. The team can dump them at any time. Many veterans get signed to contracts that the team knows they will never fulfill. The player will get cut to free up cap room, or because of age/declining performance, and the team doesn't have to pay up the remainder of their contract.
As for rookie pay, I totally agree. Look how many first round busts my Lions have had over the last decade.
