The AFL is in talks to extend draftee contracts to a mandatory three years to help clubs retain young talent.AFL operations manager Mark Evans said the league has put the proposal to the AFL Players Association on behalf of clubs during collective bargaining agreement negotiations.Clubs sign draftees to two-year deals, but an increasing number of young players walking out within a few season has caused concern.They (players) can get up and leave your club before you get a chance to maybe play them in a lot of games and show them theyve got a place in the club, Evans told SEN radio.If they do get up and leave, it can leave a club thats been trying to harvest young players to have to go back to the draft and start all over again.Western Bulldogs forward Tom Boyd (GWS) and St Kildas Nathan Freeman (Collingwood) are among the high draft picks to leave after one season.James Aish left Brisbane for the Magpies as soon as his mandatory two-year deal with the Lions was up, while Giants pair Caleb Marchbank and Jarrod Pickett are seeking trades to Carlton after two years.Evans noted the AFLPA has expressed reservations around how a third-year player would be valued under the proposal, along with the fact rookies dont get a say about where they end up when drafted.The conversation hasnt gone very far at this point in time, Evans said.

Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. Players and coaches like to say the Heisman Trophy is really a team award.Well, Lamar Jacksons Louisville teammates did not give him much help Thursday night against Houston, so now the winner of the Heisman is not quite the foregone conclusion it was last week.The Cardinals quarterback was not at his best in a 36-10 loss, in which he was sacked 11 times but his remarkable athleticism likely saved him from three or four more. The negative sack yardage, which counts toward rushing yards in college, killed Jacksons box score. Jackson ran for 116 yards on 14 carries, not counting the 11 sacks. Add those and the numbers drop to 25 for 33.He was 20 for 43 for 211 yards passing with a touchdown and no picks. He did have a crucial fumble near the goal line.So is the door open for someone to overtake Jackson in voting by the APs Heisman watch panel? Maybe.
