FYP. Teams like the Raiders, Jags and Titans are pretty clearly needing to overpay to get anyone to go there. Antoher factor is state taxes. California taxes people who make more than $1MM per year 13% or something of the excess. When Florida and Texas have NO state income tax, it's a serious problem. NFL seriously needs to think about whether a state income tax adjusted salary cap number makes sense. Teams in states with no income tax have a significant "recruiting" advantage over states that do, especially if it's higher. If the goal of the NFL is to have a level playing field for the teams to hunt talent, then they should probably consider it. Of course, that would help teams in NY and California, so I'm not sure I'd personally support it.

I know everyone likes to bitch about the line and Dorsey, but frankly I think he made the right calls by not over paying guys like Albert, Hudson, Asamoah, and Schwartz.
Albert: Five-year, 47 million deal with $25 million guaranteed. Started 9 games in 2014 Asamoah: Five-year, 22.5 million deal with $6 million guaranteed. Started 15 games in 2015 Schwartz: Four-year, $16.8 million deal with $6.2 million guaranteed. Started 2 games in 2014 Look at the money that's been paid to Chiefs offensive linemen, who besides Albert, don't have long distinguished track records in the NFL. Of all these guys, Asamoah is the guy me probably should have kept, but its not like he's some standout guard who would be difficult to replace. It's going to suck to have to re-stock the oline in the upcoming draft but we don't really have a choice in the matter. This is why we must always use 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks on developmental linemen. It's a position you can't afford to ignore anymore because the big fatties are making bank. |

However, your point on the taxes and the salary cap is a good one but i highly doubt that the NFL would ever open that can of worms.

Personally I'm not sure that is a bad thing long term.

Our GM would have to have his head examined if he paid 9 mil to Hudson.
