I'm still surprised by that. Not having a cap helps 5% of the players. Yes, Tom Brady/Peyton Manning/Larry Fitzgerald, etc, are going to make more money, but its not going to help the Lewis Sanders and Jabar Gaffneys that make up 90% of the NFL.


Its seems like the top 5% of the NFL salary earners control the union, despite the fact that they are in direct opposition to the rest of the league. The fact that the union opposes draft slot salary is a clear example of this... the only players that get helped by the current draft salary structure are the first 10 picked.

Some people have argued it's the agents that are playing the union (since the agents get up to 3% of a player's deal, the agents representing the top players have no incentive to see the current system change).

Well, theres only about $10M between the salary cap and salary floor, and you need 53 players, so I still can't see any incentive on why the guys making Vet-Min still seem to vote for stuff thats only to the good of the top 5%. Theres more agents out there representing average players than elite ones.
