This should influence our draft&nbsp;because this trade will now mean that Detroit will probably go with Stafford....That hurts us because our ability to trade down is now reduced. SO we maybe forced to go with the linebacker Arron Curry. Bummer this means that we are not going to get more players and that should limit us some.

The NFLPA informed agents for the remaining unsigned draft choices to negotiate cautiously while the union tries to resolve a dispute affecting first- and second-round choices.</p> <p>On Tuesday, the NFLPA filed a brief seeking a decision of a Special Master. Without getting too complicated, the dispute revolves around the interpretation guaranteed one-time bonuses and the way those guarantees are interpreted within the rookie pool.</p> <p>Under the rookie pool, base salaries can only increase 25 percent per year, but agents found a loophole in which a draft choice can receive a one-time bonus and guarantee it in the final year of the contract. This particularly affects second-round choices because they sign four-year deals. The problem in this summer's negotiations is that there is no collective bargaining agreement in 2011 so the fourth year of the contract can't be involved in any kind of guarantees.</p></blockquote> <p> [Note: I added the link, the blockquote and cut out the some of the text.
