The 1st Round picks really got fucked in the new CBA. Teams can basically control these guys for 7 years (5th year option + franchise tags).
I think the Bengals can control Green at 4/40 the next fours years if they want. Mike Wallace got 5/60.
I think the Texans can control Watt at either 3/22 or 4/37.
Thought this was a good article. It's a mock negotiation for JJ Watt's new contract.

He can come to Pitts and help Shaz not become a bust, well, if we weren't already paying our linebackers a truckload.
You help pay them, huh?
Also, no way Texans let Watt go anywhere.
