Still on the table for discussion is the league's rookie wage scale, with the owners wanting to dramatically reduce the amount of money they give to unproven players. Basically, teams don't want a situation where they're paying a player like JaMarcus Russell $40 million for several years of sub-par performances.

That's not to say, however, that the league's highest-drafted rookies aren't going to still be making boatloads of money on their first contract – new Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is going to be a wealthy man however things work out.

And Newton might also end up as the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year this season – or at least he's one of the favorites for the award at Bodog heading into the season. Newton, a Heisman Trophy winner and the first overall pick, is tied with Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones at 11/2 odds to win that award this season.

Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green is next on the Offensive ROTY list at 13/2 odds, followed by New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram at 15/2, and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder at 10/1.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker sits at 16/1 odds, while Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is just ahead of him on that list at 15/1 odds. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert is listed at 22/1 odds.

The favorite to win the Defensive ROTY is Arizona Cardinals defensive back Patrick Peterson, the fifth overall selection in the 2011 draft who sits at 6/1 odds to claim the award.

Detroit Lions tackle Nick Fairley and Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller are the second favorites at 13/2 odds right now. Head over to Bodog's football props page for the complete list.
