While that makes sense, I suppose what's disappointing is that if there is a 75m salary cap, both players and management should understand that it's illogical to sign anyone to a 17 million per year deal unless the player is a top 2 player in the league. And even then, that's questionable. And a player can demand it all they want...if there aren't teams willing to go that high, they should soften their demands.
A few versions back, what ended up happening is that some HOF worthy players never got signed, never changed their demands, and they sat in the FA pool for 2 years and then retired. I really hope that doesn't happen again.
