[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1095717, member: 7261"] Honestly, it isn't the high salaries, although they are as you say, mind blowing for sure. For me, it is the guaranteed money that is handcuffing teams and diluting the product that teams put out on the field every week. I wouldn't have a problem devoting a ton of cap space to a guy that is considered top 5 at his position, but when he is injured/no longer playing like a top 5, the team is screwed. Jaire and Bahk were good examples of how that played out for the Packers. I wish the NFL would go back to players only being guaranteed the current years pay. The result of doing so would allow teams to build a better and deeper roster each season. Right now, teams are seeing a good portion of their caps being wasted on "Dead Cap". Look at these Dead Cap hits of teams. I mean, come on man! [HEADING=1]1. [URL='https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/miami/']Miami Dolphins[/URL] — $179,204,257[/HEADING] [HEADING=1]2.
