This is the first real opportunity for big name players to step up and max out their contracts for the betterment of star players salaries going forward. You have to believe their agents are pushing for it. Because the trickle down to all their other clients will be huge going forward.

No it won’t
If top players sign for more, there will be less for everyone else.
The players are splitting 50% of HRR. The share is limited
