If however, as has been suggested every marginal player floods onto the market the pay wont be as big because demand for them would be down. For example if there were 5 pro bowl guards on the market this year Doc wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the contract he did.
Not to mention only so many people could get huge contracts before the cap held the market back.

Good point. Leonard Davis just got a huge chunk of money for basically playing on the worst line in the NFL the last few years. He was one of the main guys who was just collecting a check. Do any NFL FO's watch any film on these guys? I mean what is Dallas (and for that matter Buffalo) thinking?
