With the cap and link to HRR...every time Peter gets a dollar, that's one dollar that Paul can't have.
The only pressure will be from the Agencies that represent the players. Agencies, who represent these elite players may decide to collectively get the price point of their clients up so as to increase their share, and take from their competitors.
