Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 617265">Right.  There's nothing preventing teams from offering vets incentive laden contracts.  Why are they uncommon, usually reserved for players with some kind of question mark?  Because, as you say, it is a competitive market.Even if you could get past that issue, which you can't, you'd have to come up with ways to measure performance that can be written into a contract.  That would involve statistical benchmarks.  Good luck with that.  By week 10, the clubhouse would be a disaster area with every man for himself.  Football begins and ends as a team game; it's not a collection of Amway salesmen or oil futures traders.Then there's the issue of bad teams coming in way under the cap while good teams would blow it out.   Suddenly, winning has a financial down side.  Small market teams might not even have the cash flow to pay outsized bonuses in a big year.</blockquote>
