I've looked at several rookie contracts (K.Murray, D. Savage, J. Alexander, J. Love) and the first year to second year increase is pretty much exactly 25 percent and the 2nd to third year is pretty close.  Edit:. I just checked few more from the 2021 draft (Lawrence,Wilson, Lance, Pitts). For Lawrence and Pitts both the salary and cap hit followed the rule but for Wilson and Lance only the cap hit followed the rule which, according to one article I read, is still considered following the rule. I've also looked at the recent extensions of Bakhtiari, Jones and Clark and some of the increases per year are well over 25 percent. If the 25 percent rule applied to all players how do you explain all the huge contract increases during free agency. Its possible that certain types of compensation are not included in what is considered salary but I've tried the math several different ways including different combinations of compensation and there are always plenty that would violate the rule.</blockquote>
