It would help keep things simpler and allow more parity across the league because teams like the Chiefs, Eagles, and Steelers couldn't manipulate the heck out of the cap like they do today.

I'm sure though doing that would be a lose-lose for both the teams and players themselves.

AAV is not the answer in my opinion because AAV is based on contract's maximum value. A better option would get the cap hit be tied to guaranteed money at signing. I agree players would lose a lot if this happened in my opinion.

As for structure, Bengals know the rules and can do the same manipulation, all teams can do so for me not a good case for changing it because our team refuses to use these methods to lower cap hits.
