I'm sure it would have some built in protection...percentage limitations....like 3% max increase than the highest paid QB. This would prevent wealthy owners like Jerry paying $60 million to lure Rodgers away...or throwing $40 million at Dak.
I think QBs would want it...the better they perform, the more they make. It would interesting if they made it performance/incentive based to be eligible....so the 20th ranked QB couldn't make more than a top 5 QB.
As Hoover alluded to...part of their salary should count to keep things in check. Like a $25-30 million ceiling...teams shouldn't have a superstar QB for free but shouldn't have their salary wreck the teams ability to remain competitive..
Look at the AFC play-offs...Texans, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens and Titans all had cheap/rookie contract QBs.
