Rounds 4-6: $5 million
Rounds 7-9: $4 million
Rounds 10-12: $3 million
Rounds 13-17: $2 million
Rounds 18-22: $1 million
Rounds 23-27: $500K
Rounds 28-32: $300K
Rounds 33-50: $100K

14.2 - Players acquired through the rookie draft are assigned an option year salary as follows:

Round 1 Selection 1 - 4 $1.5m
Selection 5 - 8 $1.25m
Selection 9 - 12 $1.0m
Selection 13 - 18 $800k
Selection 19 - 24 $700k
Round 2 Selection 25 - 36 $600k
Selection 37 - 48 $500k
Round 3 $400k
Round 4 $300k
Round 5 $200k
Rounds 6 and 7 $100k


Proposal

14.1 - A player's initial salary is determined by the manner in which the player was acquired. Players acquired through the Free Agent draft are assigned an option year salary as follows:

Round 1: $10 million
Rounds 2-3: $7.5 million
Rounds 4-5: $6 million
Rounds 6-8: $5 million
Rounds 9-11: $4 million
Rounds 12-14: $3 million
Rounds 15-19: $2 million
Rounds 20-26: $1 million
Rounds 27-33: $500K
Rounds 34-48: $300K


14.2 - Players acquired through the rookie draft are assigned an option year salary as follows:

Round 1
Selection 1 - 4 $1.5m
Selection 5 - 8 $1.25m
Selection 9 - 12 $1.0m
Selection 13 - 18 $800k
Selection 19 - 24 $700k

Round 2
Selection 25 - 36 $600k
Selection 37 - 48 $500k

Round 3 $400k

Round 4-7 $300k


Explanation

The league minimum salary is raised to $300k, which impacts both Free Agent and Rookie pay scales. An additional two $6 million dollar rounds are inserted into the Free Agent draft. The $1 million and $500k rounds are increased to seven each in the Free Agent draft. Rookie picks from rounds four to seven are all worth the league minimum $300k.

Retaining the current off-season $83 million salary cap while increasing the league minimum salary would mean less money available for higher priced players. The inclusion of the two $6 million dollar rounds creates an interesting choice for owners who would traditionally wait until the $5 million dollar round to select a player. Raising the league minimum salary raises the floor on team wages.

This rule would be implemented in 2017. 2016 Free Agent and Rookie player contracts of less than $300k would be grandfathered into the new salary structure.
