Bingo...Exactly.....
Some ppl want all contracts to be simple, fully gauranteed agreements, thinking that would be the only "fair" way.
The reality is, if that were the case, some players might benifit greatly (or not), while players as a whole would find it limiting and detrimental.
With a salary cap, teams would end up handcuffed, and unable to pay good solid players, who aren't necessarily superstars nearly as much.
Think about it. If a team, for whatever reason, found themselves on the hook for 70 mil in contracts to a few underperforming guys, not only would the team be doomed to failure, all the other players would have to play for relative peanuts.
Big picture.........
