The league needs a new system to keep teams together longer

Either increase the cap or limit player salaries to allow the best players to stay with teams for 7 plus years.

They could make it so that if you draft a player and give them an extension at some point, it could cost less against the cap than signing someone on the open market to the same amount of money contract wise.

Maybe something like a 5 to 10 percent cap discount for extending/resigning guys you have drafted.

It won't happen though. The NFL is king in the sports world and they want parity. Only thing they are interested in changing is to make the games higher scoring to attract more fans.

Smart. Give more cal room to your own players. It would improve the game. We’d see the elite players sat with their teams longer. Imagine 70% of all trains status g together fir 7 plus years. Of course bad players will be let go.

They had one ....... best football ever played ......... but then they ruined in because the owners were scared players were getting to much of their scraps.

Of course they did in the guise of helping the "smaller markets"

The salary cap was a trade off for free agency. Neither party to the CBA wants to revisit the old model.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Nope. This is what the NFL wants. It doesn't want dynasties or teams to be bad for long. They want as many teams as possible to beleive they have a chance going into the season. Why do you think the Pats were always in the crosshairs? If the rules in place can't knock a team back to mediocrity after climbing to the top, the league will manufacture problems for them.

Increase the cap and all that would happen is players would get more.

Ooooooo.....I like that idea.

Reward teams that grow their own.

Reward teams for good drafting, maybe something like a luxury tax.

My Idea is to cap qbs salary to a % of the total cap.

I'd like to see something like the Bird Exception from the NBA.

Teams can exceed the cap to sign their own free agents, provided they drafted those players and they've only played for that team.

My proposal would be to allow just one player on the team to be exempt from the team salary cap....this would allow most teams to exempt their high salaried QB without hurting the team, or some other high priced special player. This extra dough would be used to keep some other important or key players on the team. Including a legend who wants to remain on the team like an Emmitt, Rice, Montana, etc. The jeanie is out of the bottle and we are never going back to no cap.

Players would never go for it....

The system is operating as designed. No adjustments will be made.

I'm afraid that would cause the Mahomes of the world to go after a baseball career instead of football

Not if you still make it worthwhile.
If a QB was capped at 25 million a year
Thats still good money.

Well...to most people.

If Patrick mahomes woke up tomorrow, and was told he'd only be making g 25 million a year, he'd have to get on anti-depressants
