Again, it's not the same. There is no salary cap for owners; how much or little Jerry earns has no effect on the Cowboys winning games. Whereas there is a salary cap for players. More money for one player (i.e., Zeke) means less money for others, means less talent that can be signed, equals less chance of an SB.
The owners pushed for a salary cap, not the players. If an owner then turns around and chooses to pay a guy $30 million that's also on the owners, not the players. No player is in a position to force any owner to pay a certain salary.
I get the frustration with trying to build a winner under a cap, but blaming the players for it is misplaced. It's on the owners.
