How does a percentage of the cap help the team in any way?
Florio keeps preaching this and it makes zero sense to me.
Today's world; as the cap rises the QB deal becomes a lesser percentage of the cap, that is good for signing other players.
A percentage of the cap would most likely be considered guaranteed, how would that be calculated for future years as to being in compliance with the escrow requirement?
I do not see any benefit for this idea other than the QB is getting a raise every year, it most likely negates the opportunity to be creative with rolling guarantees, etc., and would defitniely prevent the signing of some new free agents every year.
I wish Pat or Mike or anyone, would explain to me how this is beneficial to the team moving forward.
