NFL is an interesting league. You can be willing to give a guy $30 mill a year in a new contract but he only costs a 3rd round pick in a trade. The cap makes so much about dollars. I preferred when sports were more about ability than cap gymnastics.

Were sports better when only the richest teams could afford to buy the best players? We didn't care about who the GM was in those days,

Every league seems to have its own way of trading for top end talent. What would a trade for McDavid even look like? NFL contracts are mostly non-guaranteed and fit each teams cap structure making it hard to trade players for players so you rarely see that. What would a trade for Mahomes look like?

We are watching the best football players when we watch the NFL. The only reason we might disagree with that sometimes is because we get the Jets and Giants on TV every week.

I was for the cap in the NHL to make things fair but there can be more than one thing true at a time. Seeing fans so obsessed with cap numbers has changed fandom negatively. It used to be how many tds or goals not whats a guys cap number. In regards to McDavid ot would be a shame for most of Americas non hockey fans to have no idea who he is because he is such a magical player but that isn't my issue with the cap. Seeing good players let go in cap leagues is not great for fans imo. Football is a little different because teams find some ways to circumvent the cap at least for a period of time.
