Overview

  • Quarterback contracts have been evolving to suggest tying pay to a percentage of the salary cap.
  • Team executives and agents think it's unlikely to happen due to reluctance to upset precedent.
  • The salary cap has been rising a lot because of media deals and will keep going up with gambling money.
  • Teams usually think QB contracts should be 13-15% of the cap, but new deals might change that.
  • Cap-percentage contracts could help teams and players, but many factors must align for the first one.
