QB's take up somewhere between 11-17% of the salary cap in a sport where if everything were even people would take up 1.88%.

NBA teams have a cap of what? 25-30% for 1 player in a 13 player squad? Scale that to NFL squad size and it becomes like 6-7% max for a player. I mean sure it's not that simple but that also doesn't account for the fact that the NBA allows teams to go over the cap (which of course they do by a lot) and that the money is guaranteed.

I think realistically a cap of like 8% per player would be fair. That's still 14-15m per year and you could offer benefits to a re-signing team if you really wanted. And then the benefit to the player is that contract negotiations would be more about how much are you guaranteeing them rather than what ridiculous amount of money are you giving them,

I know it will never happen and I'd rather see the cap removed if I'm honest (as then other players would get paid rather than having to get less because the QB is taking 25m a year)
