the team and the player negotiate a contract.

Position and previous years contracts?

lets say a rookie out of college is the #1 draft. What happens if he and the team can't come to terms?

I have always wondered that?

then he'll sit out.

that's why there are agents. plus, players know their worth and they compare it to others with similar ability and ask for that price.
