First is that the salary cap increased much more than anticipated earlier this month. Second, and somewhat contradicting the linked article above, ESPN said that the cap is expected to increase significantly each of the next few seasons. They said in the 25% annually range, which seems ridiculous.If that is all true, then the guys now are working to be the top paid because in two seasons they will be making not only less than their peers, but significantly less. The Mahomes and Rodgers of the NFL will make today's contracts look small. At least, that was the argument made on tv today.So while we are all arguing about whether $50-$60M is too much for Jordan Love, it all may be moot if the salary cap goes way up in the near future. It may be a cap-friendly deal in the end if the entire salary-cap-ocean rises up a lot.</blockquote>
