I voted yes, and feel somewhat strongly about it. With a Development Squad, and especially with the addition of two huge DS slots last year, a large number of drafted rookies remain on their original teams. As we've seen in Brian and Mike's new salary scale mock-ups, those players with original teams that are now studs (Portis for example) will still make elevated salaries. At the same time, I think a little competitive balance can be injected into the league by lowering salaries for some of the teams that have stuck with struggling rookies.

We have admitted as a league that our rookie salary scale was flawed and probably harmful to those that adopted a strategy of building through the draft. While we're at it this off-season, lets correct the injustice and make sure the penalty to teams (brought on by participating in a flawed system) is done away with!
