ProFootballTalk: A change in the process of signing rookies

The Detroit Lions signed their first round selection, the fifth overall pick, of the 2013 NFL draft DE Ziggy Anasah. Mike Florio thinks the rookie wage scale in the new CBA is the reason why so many rookies are signing quickly. Here’s something to keep in mind with the rookie contracts under the new CBA, after the third year of a rookie contact, the contract can be renegotiated. There are some huge names, Cam Newton, J.J Watt and AJ Green to name a few, who will be able to get a new deal after the 2013 season.
