The only way I can see controlling salaries is to make the cap a hard cap.
Make it where you can only spend a certain amount and that is it. If you
pay so much that you can only pay 8 players then so be it, and if you lose
someone to injury then you are sol. Put the cap at maybe 36 million, this
is an average of 3 mil per player for a 12 man roster. more than enough to
live off!!
