NFL Commissioner Rips Rookies

Roger Goodell: “There's something wrong about the system. The money should go to people who perform. He [Jake Long] doesn't have to play a down in the NFL and he already has his money. Now, with the economics where they are, the consequences if you don't evaluate that player, you can lose a significant amount of money. And that money is not going to players that are performing. It's going to a player that never makes it in the NFL. And I think that's ridiculous.”
