I like the idea of a "Sophomore Cap". And like ELCs...they could offer [I]some[I] standard league-wide bonuses to enable the truly elite the chance to earn some extra millions.
For any league to ever be successful with this cost-control stuff...they need to phase it in and sell out the younger generations. The current voting membership is more likely to throw future players under the bus if it doesn't effect them. So essentially I'm suggesting to propose the Sophomore cap but anyone in the league already is exempt. Maybe that helps teams keep their kids under a reasonable contract for two or three extra years?
