1 year contracts. No signing bonus, no roster bonus. No pay for players on injured reserve. Pay for games played only. Salary cap at $60 million, no annual increase til next collective bargaining agreement.
The way I see it not even Dan Snyder could snatch up all the Pro Bowler because without proration of bonuses and other cap tweaking measures you can pay everybody top salary. Most teams are like the Pack with anywhere from $5million to $20 million in dead cap money. Now it's not an issue. You play at a higher level than your pay? It'll catch up to you next year. You suck it up? Same thing. This would eliminate holdouts as well as lessen the risk of signing players like Joe Johnson, Koren Robinson et al. It would also keep ticket prices more affordable for fans.
