The new structure is great, but puts rbs especially at a disadvantage. Their careers are typically shorter. QBs and lbs tend to get better with time and aren't worth big contracts early. Even more so for linemen . And they can have 10+ year careers. Running backs may only get one real contract before they peak or get injured and have to slow down.
