With today's QBs making $120 million plus, teams can't afford to surround their stars with talent. These billionaires will have to go back to the old days and outselling your opponent. Lucky for us....our owner is a master.

I could see them coming up with a no QB cap exclusion..but I doubt it, they're billionaires for a reason.

Yep, kind of like the "Bird exception" in the NBA. You can sign a QB you originally signed/drafted for money beyond the cap.

I don't see them going for a free-for-all free agent market. That would only drive QB salaries higher.

Teams should be given partial exemptions for some of their drafted talent that are signed to a second contract.

Leave the cap in place and perhaps take the QB off the cap. Or the 3 highest paid players off the cap. Still leaves it even.

Totally agree and I doubt Jerry would even want it. They make more money in a league where smaller market teams can win. End of story.
O don't think that the fact that small market yes being able to win helps get more viewers at all. I actually think it's the opposite. The game was never more popular than when U had big dogs ruling. I also think viewership of playoffs and superbowl show this to be true. I didn't even see the last two superbowls till later and missed parts of some others. Especially when teams get hosed by referees or GOODELL. what we have is a league of owners motivated by everything but fair play and loyalty.
