TL;DR:

The NFL might try to limit how much money a single player can earn in the next labor deal. This “max contract” rule would mainly affect superstars & QBs, potentially leaving more money for the rest of the players. However, this move could backfire by forcing famous QBs to finally get involved in the union to protect their pay. While most players might like the idea, upsetting the league’s biggest stars could create a major battle between the teams and the players’ union.
