I think it was the 87 or 92 Redskins that had salaries adding up to nearly $80-$90 million, unheard of for those times. The other less wealthy team owners conspired to end Mr. Cooke's big spending and winning ways. Especially with unrestricted free agency coming, they were scared of JKC and his big money.
The first year of the salary cap the Skins started out something like $10 million over the cap and had to dismantle a veteran team.
Unproven rookies are coming into the league with huge conteracts while older proven veterans (fan favorites) are getting cut. The league created this shitty system not Snyder. Although, Snyder has played the ugliest under the new rules.
I think if there was no salary cap Snyder would act more like JKC.
