The NFLPA and their partners are sending a bad message to rookies based on their invite list to their annual Rookie Premiere.
The NFLPA Rookie Premiere is taking place this weekend, and in attendance will be two of the Raiders seven drafted rookies. Though not the two you might think.
The Rookie Premiere boasts that the "Forty-one top rookies from the 2016 NFL Draft class" will be in attendance at the event which takes place in Los Angeles from May 19-21. The roster ends up taking the term "top rookie" pretty loosely.
The past couple of years, the Raiders' top rookies were there.
