Eventually there will be some bigger increases to the cap....but for now, the players owe the owners North of 800M dollars because of the pandemic seasons.
That money will have to clawed back long before any significant money goes back to the players however. And at no time will it be 20% higher than in 2016 before that occurs.
That does not mean you wont see a few 8 digit deals happening, but they will not be commonplace as you seem to be suggesting.
