I'm not arguign to reduce the cap, I'm just saying the $$ should be redistribution as between vets and rookies.
I don't think the NFL should implement guaranteed contracts, it wouldn't work for football, but they haven't destroyed basketball. The NBA salary structure/system works rather well, I'd argue that it works better than the current NFL system.
