Yea but it wouldn’t interfere with building a roster.

You won’t have to choose between signing your QB and potentially losing other players.

Two thoughts.

First it is a de-facto increase in the salary cap and allows the owner with the deepest pockets to have the best QB.  (well unless they are on their first contract) Second, it would raise the amount paid to other positions till another one is transitioned to be like the QB. Right now the divide is simple, players and coaches. Football is basically the only sport with this cap process, I imagine in an attempt to "level" the playing field. Take a look at baseball where only the big market teams really have a chance and consider it.  It is really a tough topic.
