It sucks missing a huge chunk of your paycheque, even if their paycheques are massive. Yeah they get most if not all of it back, but it really can swing what you end up making in a down year. I think they just don't like the uncertainty, and the concept of it is a little weak. If the league earns less money, the cap goes down so future contract signing gains are lowered, and they still have to pay the escrow. The players lose twice on that one.
