Obviously, free agents can go anywhere they choose.
As far as market value, I think that is hard define, and I should have worded it differently I guess.
But, I do know that Kelce should have been the highest paid TE for several years, obviously, and if he wanted to be paid what he is worth, he would probably be playing somewhere else. We are lucky that Kelce is different than most players, and isn't all about the bag.
I know that Jones deserves to be at least the 2nd highest paid DT in the league.
I know that Sneed deserves at least $20 million dollars a year.
Maybe a better way to avoid situations like this is to remove the QB salaries from the salary cap numbers. Put some sort of limitation on what teams can pay QBs, like say the max you can pay a QB in a given year is X% of the salary cap max amount.
Like, if the salary cap is $250 million, the max a QB could make is 25% of $250 million, but you still get the full $250 million to pay all other players.
