Rookies and second year players make in the low to mid hundreds of thousands of dollars in a setup system prior to reaching arbitration years. This does not lower veteran salaries.

Apples and oranges. The system that is built into the NFL is the signing bonuses. Salary is almost ancillary because it is not guaranteed. As a result, the gargantuan signing bonuses that NFL rookies get has a direct effect on veterans' contracts.
