The escrow rule going away would mean the ones with more liquid cash would then just move to larger signing bonuses and down that road is eventually fully-guaranteed contracts, which does NOT benefit fans.

I just want the cap to be more of an actual hard cap like it used to be because right now with void years and the such it's acting a bit more like a soft cap... obviously not quite MLB soft cap, but even without going that far it still isn't good for league parity.

It’s like a home builder. When the home building business is good, you can take future home money to pay for current home. At some point the homes stop coming. It always catches up with you.

The saints are still paying for it.
The rams somehow figured it out.
The niners are going through it.
The cowboys are headed into it.
