The cap system is not broken.............the salary cap each year at sat at approximately 70% of league revenue per the CBA.The cap system is broke. THE United States is broke. If the US has a real bad recession (hint: US debt is currently at 34 trillion and climbing), the cap is going to be reduced instead of increased. Interest in big time sports and fan attendance will decrease.
The NFL made crazy money last year, that is why the salary cap went up about 11%.
Guess what, this season all the money from the NFL gambling sites and apps (MGM and Draftkings) gets rolled into league revenue as well, thus the cap next year is expected to go up another 10-20%.
Nothing is broken, everything is working just like it was negotiated. As long as Amazon keeps spending billions to air NFL games on Prime, the money train is going to keep rolling.
