NFL discusses QB salary cap
If they were to do this it would benefit us greatly....however from what I've seen most fans are completely opposed to this for the same reason "Ah great so this means teams like the Chiefs will just be better than everyone else for 15 years" then it turned into an NBA max argument and how that sucks.. |

The only problem I kiiiiinda see, and it's not a real one, IS the NBA max contract dilemma.
Everyone will offer LeBron the max. But ultimately there will be dozens of other lesser players that also get the max. So at that point it's awfully tough for a smaller market team to keep some of these guys because they can't just over-extend themselves to keep them. They're on the same financial footing as the Lakers, for instance, but the Lakers offer more benefits off the court. So if everyone can offer Mahomes the same max amount at $40 million, the Chiefs have really nowhere to go with their offer. They just have to hope Patrick REALLY likes it in Kansas City rather than has an interest in pursuing higher profile media markets. Anything that prevents the Chiefs from simply saying "**** it, take what you want and stay here" makes me nervous. It may ultimately serve as a disadvantage for the Chiefs.

That would kill any type of parity in the league. Having to pay your elite QB a large amount of your cap is a great equalizer right now.

And if this rule changed, average QBs would be making even more. It would be just like the NBA where above average players get the same max contract as superstar players.

Exactly. Deshaun Watson’s agent has already leaked that they will demand more from Texans than what Mahomes will get in KC. I would imagine Dak Prescott will attempt to squeeze Dallas in the same manner. It’s basically a repeat of when Rodgers’ salary was lower than Carr, Stafford, Cousins, and Jimmy G. Packers must have been chuckling around that time.

Yup. It's your choice to sign Mitch Trubisky.

Of course, teams with bad QBs are paying them tons of money anyway. Not sure how much this actually changes things, honestly.

Huh? There's a big difference in what Russell Wilson makes or what Mahomes is about to make and what a QB like tannehill is making. Don't know what you mean by paying them a ton.

That sounds like a really bad idea for parity purposes. Do it

I suggested this well over a year ago. Good to see other folks thinking similarly.

If they pass this then the league is absolutely screwed.
