Even if there isn't a Salary Cap (which will NEVER happen, as the NFLPA wouldn't allow it), there's still limited income. None of these owners want to LOSE money. Also, every free agency signing, big or not, doesn't work out perfectly for the player or team even 50% of the time. Has Suh led the Dolphins to a playoff win? How about that Brock Osweiler? There's an endless list of free agent busts and even bigger market teams like the Giants, Jets, Dolphins and 49er's have fiscally conservative owners that aren't going to spend 70% of their gross income for a few superstar players when 28 other teams are spending 48-50%. Proof? Guys are willing to play for little to nothing in New England, just to get a ring. |

It is a weird irony that MLB, without a salary cap has had more parity during the past decade than the NFL or NBA.
Look at how many different teams have been in the World Series during the past 10 years... including small market teams such as the Royals, Tampa, and Colorado. |

That and guys will play for anything because it is a job, a job which pays more than bagging groceries or flipping burgers which sadly is all most of these guys would be doing for legal employment anyway.

What's the percent including the last 6 years? MLB has seen recent success of Pirates, Royals, Rays and A's in the last decade or so. Not necessarily in just championships. There has been some surprising teams in the mix for playoffs, etc. Just judging champions MLB has had 15 teams win a championship since 90. The NFL has seen 14 different teams in that span.

I like the concept of a salary cap, but the contracts need to be more transparent. X years for Y dollars. I'm sure that some teams are gaming the system with complex contract language.
Plus, you have to be diligent about teams that cheat on the salary cap and punish them severely for cheating. Don't just take away a draft pick. Take away their 1997 and 1998 Lombardi trophies and give them to the NFC team that didn't cheat.

How many former Bronco players are still being paid 4 million a year as an honorary janitor?

The cap should stay. It is needed to keep parity within the NFL.
