Adding games means teams probably need to add roster spots and be able to pay them. Adding games means teams really need a solid backup QB, an extra RB, extra depth all around.

Or pay the elite players less to accommodate said Players.

How about negotiating a REAL salary cap - like classify players as tier 1, 2, 3.
Tier 1 = Elite - Max Salary: 20 million
Tier 2 = Top Shelf - Max Salary: 10 million
Tier 3 = Spicy - Max Salary: 5 million
Base Salary - Max: 1 million
Mild = Practice Squad: 250k

Sumptin like dat!

Old school foosball players went both ways and had smaller rosters... also played fewer games.

Salary cap constriction for one year, then we'll see. At any rate, the cap is way more than what Benson paid for the team when he bough it from Mecom. Ridiculous, if you ask me.
