Football Salary Cap: Yes Or No? - Page 2

**petegz28** · 06-06-2017, 08:51 PM

One of the guys on 610 this afternoon was railing against the salary cap. He claimed it was not needed because the NFL has more cash than the MLB and NBA combined. I got the feeling it was all because of Maclin being released. He was claiming you can build even better teams without the cap.

Personally I like the cap. While cash profit is not an issue, cash in the form of what teams spend on players does effect the game. I like that the money is part of the rules. I'd like to see MLB do the same as the NFL.

Given that the Chiefs haven't gotten a championship in nearly 50 years, this isn't a particularly compelling argument for the NFL salary cap being great.

What tier of "destination teams" do you think KC would be in if Free agency was a completely open market? Doubt we'd have near the same amount of team talent that we do now.

Huh? The overwhelming majority of the Chiefs talent is home grown.

That was re-signed. Would Houston, Berry, Kelce, or Maclin (whenever we got him) be here if the other teams could offer them what they're really worth or even more?

I'd say it would be somewhat reflective of exactly how the free agent market in the MLB is. When's the last time a big name FA came to KC? I feel comparable tendencies would happen within the NFL.

Houston, yes, because he would have been Franchised.

Kelce was extended after year three, so I don't get your point.

Berry was Franchised, so yes.

Maclin was a bad signing, period, and I doubt anyone would have matched that stupid contract.

Each MLB team has its own TV contract.

The NFL negotiates with the networks and all 32 teams split the revenues equally.

Currently, the NFLPA receives 48.5% of all revenue.

Without a salary cap, cities won't pony up billions of dollars for stadiums if the teams don't have a chance to be competitive.

I think his point was (And I hear Colin Cowturd say this about Green Bay) Players would choose to go to bigger cities and bigger markets.

IMO the Draft and Franchise Tags still mean that you can obtain and keep talent.

I disagree. I think it works for the NFL because salaries aren't guaranteed. Baseball salaries are perfect. It leads to big markets over spending for players non elite years. In baseball the first 6 years are normally the most valuable and those are protected to the team regardless of location or payroll.

True true true! Baseball is the most out of whack.

The salary cap is great. It creates a natural flow of moving talent.

BUT, NFL is horrible when it comes to parody thanks to the misbalanced rules that favor QB.
