It is rumored that the salary cap was originally created by the other owners because of JKC and the fear of his money. The 1992 Sb team had over $100M in total salary. In 1993 when the salary cap was installed it lead to the Redskins quick downfall in talent and depth.

I've heard the same, and quite honestly I think one reason Gibbs came back is that he sort of felt he jumped ship (which I suppose you could argue he did) just as the Redskins were about to hit hard by age and the salary cap and wanted to come back to correct that and leave, as best as he could, a legacy beyond him. (I love run-on sentences!).
He certainly left the team in better shape than when he left the team in 1993.
