What I'm really curious to find out, but continue to come up empty on any solid information is; What percentage of all players drafted make it to a 2nd contract? Between superstar contracts continuing to climb, and league minimums continuing to rise as well, many teams are simply hamstrung by the cap to keep a percentage of players on rookie deals.
Not really what you're asking for, but interesting no less....
According to the NFL if you make an opening day roster as a rookie, the average career length is 6.0 years. The average career length for a 1st round pick is 9.3 years and if you make it to at least 1 Pro Bowl, you average 11.7 years.
