Kind of like how every large partnership distributes earnings to its partners.

I have often thought about this...contracts shouldn't be based on dollars since with escrow it's not real anyways. Simply negotiate percentage of CAP and adjust monthly or quarterly based on projection of season. I believe a lot of annamosity is because most players have an expectation of the dollar amount that they sign their contract for. The reality is that due to total revenue underperforming they are disappointed at years end.
