That's not true. Nowadays it doesn't matter who the first pick is. Long got the same guaranteed money that Russell did. He's the highest paid offensive lineman in football (which is ludicrous). The NFL needs to adopt the NBA policy and go to a rookie salary cap type deal with your draft position making money based on tiers and the positions above you and percentages and stuff.
But anyway, $31 million guaranteed is not pissing off any agents, that's for sure.
