Was watching Dan Patrick this morning and he presented an interesting salary cap idea. He was talking about the NFL, but it is something that other professional sports could use.
The idea was that teams would be allowed to designate 1 player that they can pay any amount they want that doesn't count against the cap.
Then the rest of the roster is built within the cap.
I like the idea to a point. Guys like Lebron, etc. never get paid what they are truly worth to a franchise. This would be a way to at least get close.
The one thing I would add is that the cap for the rest of the team is a hard cap.
