Agreed and my speculation is it is a lot more difficult for some teams to swallow the funding vs giving the guarantee. Funding a large portion is punitive to owners like MB and puts them at a disadvantage. Given no NFL team is going bankrupt it seems nonsensical to follow outdated rules. Instead why not adopt something new having teams guarantee the payment or risk losing their franchise or some other collateral for the guarantee? Just seems like this funding requirement can fundamentally screw up the competitive balance the salary cap purports to accomplish.
