POLL-Salary Cap.

[coconut]

Your opinion of the salary cap considering Kroenke has the deepest pockets?

 

[Riverumbbq]

Eliminate the salary CAP and i'm done with the NFL. I don't watch other sports because wealthy owners can damn near buy championships, that's not for me. jmo.

 

[1maGoh]

I want to see the Rams win. Kroenke could pay for anyone he wants. I also like blowout victories.

I don't really care, but I don't see a downside to eliminating it.

 

[Angry Ram]

Irrelevant on Sundays.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Keep it but create a separate QB cap.

 

[Pancake]

Keep it.

 

[Akrasian]

Keep it, but raise it. The players are the ones being crippled out there, but the owners have been using the fact that they are able to play the long game to reduce the cap the last few negotiations, since players with their short careers cannot afford long strikes.

They will never agree to eliminating it, and it's not worth it for us fans to go without the NFL for a year or more. More, and as suggested, perhaps a different cap for QBs, so that having a QB on his second contract doesn't hurt the rest of the team so much.

My thoughts exactly I feel like the QBs salary shouldn’t be included

Or the teams franchise player.

Keep the CAP but just put a maximum percentage on the highest paid player. A $200mil League Cap with the top player receiving 10% of CAP max = top player having no more than a $20.mil. team CAP per season. This is just an example, you guys can work out the max % . jmo.

Foolish suggestion Kroenke's pockets are 4 BILLION over budget on the stadium.

If he's worth $9 billion then he's still got a few billion $ between the cushions in the sofa.

Cap is good for the game overall. So I am a HUGE supporter.

I pretty much quit watching MLB because the playing field is just not level, without a cap.

 

[SuperMan28]

Keep it but lower it. These dudes make too much money. Problem is that money would just go to the owners. Sooooo... raise it.

Indeed.
Keep it.
English football has been dictated, largely, by which club has the deepest pockets.

 

[dieterbrock]

They raise the cap and the additional money ends up going to the top 10% any way.
I’d like to see them incorporate something either like the NBA where you can go over the cap to re-sign your own player (Larry Bird rule) or like MLB where if you go over, you pay a “penalty”. Exception being that I wouldn’t want the “penalty money” being distributed to the other teams like MLB as that offers incentive for “smaller market” teams to spend less.

The salary cap benefits the players as it ensures the revenue split is being applied to players

I agree to a point. I think there should be a cap on any player to get a certain percentage of the cap. Say max of 13% for the heck of it. After all, the cap and the current rookie deal was to put more money in the longer-term players pockets. But is that really what's happening?

Completely untrue. Location, money and the teams ability to compete are the 3 factors that goes into every free agent, but don't be fooled money is everything.

Every owner is a billionaire so they all can afford to pay free agents so then other factors matter - eventually certain teams will be hurt and others will thrive and that usually in the larger media markets. Hence why the Lakers do better. Players want to play here.

Until Sundays in the fall roll around, when said FAs are standing on the sideline watching a late rounder or UDFA make a play on offense or defense.
