A few thoughts:
I don't think it's all to do with being a star. It's more about what you, your efforts, and contributions are worth to the team/league under the salary cap.
People make a big deal out of Goodell making $30-$40m every year, but consider that a commission on the Billions in Revenue the NFL produces every year... well, it's not as much as you'd expect at a typical sales job that's for sure.
I think the union needs to do a better job of getting these guys paid. NBA union is making the case for no salary cap, so guys like Lebron can collect their value. Where you at NFLPA!?
