Say we give JB $1 Gazillion this year and in 2 years the Jags give Sunshine $1.2 Gazillion. JB's management can come back and say "JB's better than Sunshine; he deserves $1.4 Gazillion." That has 0 negative connotations. But come back and say "JB's more important to the team than the other players, he deserves more of their money". Then...

Another possibility is that when one player gets a % others likely will as well.  If we were to give Joe 18%, whose to say Chase wont want 15%?  Every single year we would have 2 players taking up a third of the cap, the team never catches a break.
