Some owners discussing a QB salary cap separate of the current cap
It seems this is starting to gain popularity.

I would fully welcome this. It would raise the Chiefs ceiling way higher. It seems reeruned to put all teams on a level playing field financially by having their QB paid on a different basis.
Teams like the Texans have the perfect opportunity paying Stroud pennies. Imagine if this team had a clean slate on our cap without Mahomes cap hits? We could possibly win 5 straight Super Bowls ![]() |

That's stupid. They are a part of the team so they should count against the salary cap just like any player.
Just don't sign a QB to a massive deal that they aren't with if you don't want to. Pretty simple. |

This. Just manage your shit. If you can't afford anyone after your QB then it's your fault for having a shitty gm. |

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs and Bengals were against this...
The teams that are going to be for it are the teams that are massive cash spenders because it would allow them to spend more money total. The Chiefs even in this age are not a massive cash spending team, on average they come in right around the middle of the pack. This is a way for teams like Dallas that make the most money to try to be able to outspend other teams. |

I guess I shouldn't call it a disadvantage, because obviously we could build a much better roster, but it definitely would tip the scales a bit for the other teams. It's probably the best option for parity overall, which we know is what they want. If we 3-peat, I would fully expect something like this to be implemented. |

Doesn’t matter. Florio will still shriek and whine and claim we’re cheating by not giving every last dollar to Mahomes

Mahomes cap hit this year is $45 million while CJ Stroud is just north of $2 million. That $43 ish million disparity is the best chance they have to load up their team like any team with a good QB on a rookie contract.
You’re pretty much erasing the best advantage teams have for parity. Great for us with Mahomes though |

The league, by hyper focusing on offense and QBs since the 90s, already established a lack of parity. The one thing that helped to keep elite QBs in check was the salary cap. A franchise couldn't emulate the superteams of the 1970s.
Removing the QB salary from the equation further the divide. Sure, it is great for a team when they currently have a top five guy, but we all know how up and down the QB coaster can be. If other fans are tired of Brady and Mahomes style dynasties than this proposal virtually guarantees them. Remember, when Brady didn't win another Super Bowl after becoming a highly paid player. His title wins returned after taking a pay cut. Imagine the Chiefs with Mahomes' salary not impacting the cap. He already overcome drops and the most penalty yardage to win a Super Bowl with the assistance of an elite defense. I have no desire to see Fat Andy reload with bombs and Spags rearming his corps. No foresight or future thinking in the NFL. The owners want a bailout because they overpaid average QBs. |

I don't understand how you put a salary cap at a single position. It makes sense with an entire team because you spend more at some positions and less at others. How do you do a cap at just QB? If they're just going to set a limit on how much QBs can be paid, why would the QBs go along with it? Am I the only one here?

So your super stupidly paid QB only accounts for something like 7% of your cap. |
