But then you would just create a bidding war where the teams with the most money (cash) could just 'buy' all the best specialists every year and NFL owners without excessive family wealth outside of football would just be stuck with garbage specialists. That's not really fair.
The thing that makes the NFL great is the salary cap and ALL teams ability to compete within the same parameters. If we move outside of that at all, then you will have other players (at different positions) and agents advocating for 'their' guys to be exempt from the cap.
It just opens up a Pandora's Box that you probably don't want to open. Would potentially ruin the NFL as we know it currently.
