But folks need to make up their minds. Is a percentage of the cap good for the team or the player? 

IMO it's easier to sell long-term that we'll always give you x% of the cap instead of we'll give you x amount of dollars. 

It really depends on how things are structured I guess.  IMO players usually look for the guaranteed money first and foremost because that is their security blanket.    But if we are talking about a percentage of the cap then how much of that percentage is guaranteed?  Because if it is we will always give you X percent of the cap over your contract guaranteed and that player has a career ending injury early on or starts to play terrible for some reason then teams gets the short end of the stick. But if a team has a traditional contract with X amount guaranteed and the player has a career ending injury or gets cut because they started to play terrible over time as the cap increases the hit the team takes is less.  

So my opinion is that a percentage of the cap, if guaranteed, is good for the player and risky for the team.
