I believe you are wrong. At least for me you are wrong. I wouldn't care if Dak made 50 million a year if there was no salary cap. I think most fans that complain is because we are worried that our team will be in cap trouble in the future. We see a lot of other good players like Jaylon Smith - Zeke ... etc and are worried we will lose those guys because we are over paying (salary cap terms) for a middle of the road QB and a DE. I have never cared what athletes make until their salary hurts the team I cheer for.
That's the system that exists. Still, there's no one to "blame" for the money being paid out. If you deem a player too expensive then don't pay him and roll with what you have otherwise. No need for hand-wringing. Make the call and field the team you will. Just have an answer for the fans when they whine. Players have every right to use the leverage they have. Owners aren't shy about using theirs but yet the players get all the blame in these discussions. Wonder what that's about. I'm pretty sure I know.
