What are the odds that Detroit still uses their entire 15 minutes of clock time

I agree. No way any rookie should make as much money as a proven veteran. I think the NFL will address the issue, but a change would require agreement from the NFL Players Association and management. There is no guarantee that will happen.

Management yes, the union not so much. With the average career lasting something like 3 years, they want to get as much money as possible.
