Caleb Williams asking for partial ownership from team that drafts him

This has come up before. Forget the player. Maybe Mahomes speculation circa 2019?

I think I remember that its against the NFL rules to give a player a piece of ownership. And anything the team gives you, say a piece of one of their other businesses, it counts against the cap.

Vermeil wanted to give a kicker a bottle of win for winning a game, it would have counted against the cap.

It was Tom Brady's ownership of the Raiders. There was speculation that he might play again, but he would have to give up his share of the Raiders. Players can't be owners.
