It prevents teams from building a dynasty team and being able to keep it together.
The solution is easy: There should be an exemption for resigning your own players. I get not being able to go over the cap to sign Free Agents. I am fine with that and I get it. But you should be allowed to exceed the cap IF you are signing your own players. If a team has exceeded the Cap to sign their own veterans, they should be prohibited from signing high priced Free Agetns.
I am tired of the NFL protecting cheap owners or so called "small market teams".
Before Salary cap we had multiple dynasty type team that coexisted all at the same time.
1) Steelers
2) Redskins
2) 49ers
3) Cowboys
4) Giants
5) Bears

How would that system be structured?
A rookie pool, A "keep our own" pool, and a FA cap?
Or something like a transition tag where a team can match any offer, but then only have a certain amount count against the overall cap?
I doubt the players would go along with either of those concepts because they would claim that the league is prohibiting freedom of movement.
Just curious how you would see it worked out
