1. Walt Davis Posted: June 28, 2022 at 06:43 PM (#6084350)Basically it feels like the point is to reduce teams drafting players earlier than they are willing to spend on them, at the same time, the players who don't have leverage, are refusing the physical so that they might actually go higher than they are rated and not force the team to match the 75%, but still get a bigger payday than they would have if they were drafted where they should have gone.
So I think I'm the 45th best player and the 45th pick has a slot value of $X ... so if I'm the 45th best player, my draft bonus value to a team is, give or take, $X.
But I think I might get drafted earlier so a team can save some money on that slot for use elsewhere. OK, I take the physical and agree to 75% of slot. Now, no team will draft me in a slot where 75% is way over $X ... or will do so only if I was the only one silly enough to take the physica. So I haven't really increased my bonus. And if none of this happens and I get drafted 45th ... I now have to accept 75% of $X, costing myself 25%?
Under the new rules, teams will have physicals prior to drafting the players, make the decision better-informed. Players will need to submit to a physical prior to signing, so they aren't assuming all risk, but it also prevents them from getting "low-balled" due to lack of negotiating leverage post-draft.
