The Salary Cap Thread
Posted: Sat Jan 9, 2016 8:33 pm
The NBA has their system set-up so that the team can offer the most or often have an ability to match other team's options.
Do you think that it would help or hinder if the NFL adopted a provision that gave the home team the ability to offer a percentage more than the max to their own players where it only counted against the cap at the max value? This would reward teams who draft well, allowing them to retain their players without making the player make a financial decision in order to stay. I'm not sure that it would be fair at all to do any less than the max, though.
