While that is true losing these guys doesn't improve the roster.They complain because it directly impacts the quality of other players that the team can afford to sign. Therefore, players salaries have a direct impact on the quality of the team and its ability to win. That is why fans care about salaries.
It is an important part of every sport that has a salary cap. NBA fans worry about salaries, and NHL fans also worry about salaries because it directly affects their teams success.
And eating dead money while trying to replace quality player is generally a way to get WORSE not better.
Sometimes the best thing to do with overpaid players is find a way to get their salary in line with reality.
See Doug Free.
Players can agree to lower base extensions that allow money to be shifted into future season and keep yearly cap hits about right.
Dallas won't have 6 better DL than Crawford so you need him.
The biggest issue for fans is they do not think their4 arguments through to logical conclusions.
They wanna eat dead money to get rid of overpaid players, then cry immediately how the team needs to overspend to sign a replacement all so they can argue in 12 to 24 months that guy is overpaid and should be cut.
Fans are just stupid.
