Whats among the biggest concerns of owners?
Competitive balance. Teams that have higher revenue — such as the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots— appear better equipped to lure players in an uncapped environment than lower-revenue teams. Even though the NFL equally shares its biggest source of revenue — a national TV contract that pays $3.6 billion per year — among its 32 teams, the disparity between teams at opposite ends of the revenue spectrum remains an issue. Some teams pay more than 70% of revenue on player costs and others pay less than 40% while operating under the same cap. The track record for trying to buy a title isn’t sterling, but an uncapped year provides some with better opportunities.
