Pick-By-Pick Rookie Pool Figures for 2011

According to NFL.com, the 2012 Rookie Pool has not yet been determined. (UPDATE: NFL.com has now reported that the league and the NFLPA have reached an agreement on the 2012 Rookie Pool.) Previous reports have indicated that it might be less than in 2011, although the Collective Bargaining Agreement seems to indicate that it must increase by the same percentage as the salary cap. If so, it would rise by just 0.187 percent. These facts likely mean that the 2012 Rookie Pool will be very close to the 2011 Rookie Pool. Thus, it will be possible to project each team's rookie pool for 2012 based on the figures from 2011.

Below are the actual 2011 rookie pool values -- in other words, those players' 2011 cap numbers -- for each of the 2011 draft picks. When available, the 2011 rookie pool allocation number -- the number used by the NFL to set the team-by-team and league-wide limits -- has been included in parentheses. As this shows, many of the 2011 draft picks' rookie pool numbers exactly matched the allocation figure for their respective picks after the allocation numbers were revealed to the teams and agents for the first time. To project a team's 2012 Rookie Pool, these figures can be used for each of the team's draft picks, and $25,000 can be added for undrafted rookies' signing bonus prorations.

Thanks a lot for posting this.

One issue with the rookie pool is the minimum rookie salary jumps from $375,000 to $390,000, which means the allocation amount for picks 215 and beyond is less than the new minimum salary. Do you have any idea how this will be handled?

No, but I've been wondering the same thing.

It seems that the NFL simply added $15,000 to each draft slot's allocation. For example, the allocation for Kendall Wright, the 20th pick of the first round, should be $1,494,264 -- $15,000 more than it was for Adrian Clayborn last year. And the allocation for Derek Wolfe, the fourth pick of the second round, should be $946,691 -- $15,000 more than it was for Colin Kaepernick last year.
