if a cap is paired with a floor that would on net force an increase in league wide payrolls that would clearly be a net benefit for players. Obviously make sure both the cap and floor adjust each year for inflation

Moving free agency up will result in a shorter average career

@AROD career duration drastically changes when accounting for early attrition. 65% of players reach Year 3 – among them median career length is 8 years. Wouldn’t the players benefit more if the Year 3 players had earlier pathways to Free Agency? At best, a cap is neutral for players. Likely favors owners. What is the end-goal?
