I think the owners can borrow from a pool under certain conditions, but not sure what those are.
As an aside, Not being in LA worked like a charm for them. So many teams dangled LA in front of their local city/state to get what they wanted. Once everyone got the stadium they wanted, the NFL enters LA again.
Also I don't know what else MetLife is used for, but it proves the teams 'could' pay more. They just don't have to.
