Because it isn't in the agent's own best interest. They get a percentage cut of the contract that I would bet is independent of escrow. So it is in their own interest to perpetuate any argument that allows for a higher salary cap right now, as that allows the biggest face value contracts, and the biggest commission.

Less cynically, if you look at the commentary from a guy like Allan Walsh (assuming you are one of the three people he hasn't blocked on Twitter), it is clear that some or many of these guys are no less deluded than the players themselves are.
