Salary for players is increasing way too fast, tickets will become unaffordable for the middle class, not good.

They do this in the NBA. I much prefer the NBA's method to the NFL's. I would hope they move up the combine/draft and delay free agency.

The should change the draft to before each season (like, 5 months or so would be ideal). Holding the draft 2 months after the Super Bowl is TOO LONG!!!

Free agents are getting way more than FMV, something has to give.

I think teams expect the cap to keep rising. Also they're writing contacts with options so teams can bail on them.
