Why does an athlete need $30m instead of $20m?

It's why NFL players should sit out until they do away with the salary cap. The salary cap has ruined the NFL. So tired of drafting players - getting them to a high level and only lose them because of the cap.

As a fan I wouldn't care if Dak made 32 million a year but when I know other good players cant be resigned because of an above average QB I get upset.

You're thinking of FA. FA is what causes teams to lose players.
