That’s what I have been talking about. Cap each position. Let each position go up equally as the cap goes up. And cap the rotational or second level players also. What ever it adds up to is the salary cap and it can go up from there. Teams can keep there players or be traded. Players are still leaving or holding out for max position cap but not crazy record setting money. They are still over paid.
That's relative to what the owners make whether they are overpaid. It's all reflective of what people will pay for tickets and what the TV nets will pay for the right to carry and the agencies for sponsorships and ads.
The cap is a % of the whole and the whole keeps climbing so the cap follows and it is unknown what the effect of legalized wagering will do to that.
I would rather see the players getting overpaid than the fat cats getting fatter just because they own it.
And the feeling that this is bad for the players is unfounded. There are owners that wouldn't spend up to the 3 year cap requirement if the cap wasn't in place. There are some that would "buy the ring" but eventually that would dwindle because they would realize that's not as profitable as the cap in place. Not all of these owners own the team to win a ring, it's a guaranteed return investment right now.
And this thinking that no cap would mean Booger would rule is wrong. He's not the fattest cat and he might go for the gold once but after that? And people think they're pricing themselves out of the fan market into corporate, what do you think would happen with no cap? Sorry, got to pass that along to the patrons.
