The 2014 NFL draft was amazing, but right now it is very costly to teams. There are several great players from that draft that reached the final year of their contracts after teams picked up their 5th year option. Instead of playing on ludicrously undervalued deals, the best players held out from their respective teams including the Rams DT Aaron Donald, and Titans OL Taylor Lewan.
While Lewan just signed a historic contract for offensive linemen with his 5 year, $80M extension, Aaron Donald and Mack have been left twisting in the wind playing a high stakes game of chicken with their contracts.
