I think they should just set a cap at what the amount of guaranteed money you can give to a rookie.

Let them sign whatever length and however much they want. But cap the guaranteed money at something like $20 million for a rookie, and maximum $4 million guaranteed per year. So a rookie can't try to force a team to give him $2 years, 80 million, $20 million guaranteed.

You have to work an agreement favorable to teams and players, neither will 100% like it. If you want to limit it total dollar, players will need shorter deals. This will cause better players to be paid sooner and the busts to be cut w/o killing cap.

It's a win win in my book.

Teams lose on the draft picks they have success with

And the Lions can stay out cap hell.
