Given the spike in QB contracts recent years as percentage of the cap I think both players and owners have to be thinking about revisiting the CBA early...
Roster Limits: Increasing the active roster to(60?) which would allow teams to retain and develop players, develop a bench and alleviate some supply demand imbalance for starting capable players. QBs,OL,WR etc
Cap: Would obviously need to go up to accommodate the increase in players but it would be spread out and have a lower % concentration risk in one player(QB) given the breadth of roster
QB Contracts: Will be what they will be but having the ability to carry 3 and develop 2 capable backups help clubs and the league from a contract negotiation standpoint and insurance for concussion protocol situations.
CBA: Dare they reopen to adjust the above? Not sure about this one as owners making a ton but there are a few teams that are going to run into massive cap problems thanks to stupid moves (Browns being one) that may push this idea
A generation of rules favoring the QB has created some market disruption, but I believe it will work itself out.
My guess is Baltimore letting Jackson walk, and Tyler Huntley filling in adequately would be the type of thing to shock the market back in place.
How much do they value the athletic performance of the players allowing them to tolerate the endless TV commercials during the game and the ticket, concession, parking, team merchandise cost.
There is a limit in there somewhere. Both owners and players should be aware of this fact
As for the roster, I think the current system is good. They don’t want teams stock piling talent on the roster so that’s why the limit is good.

(Though minimum qualifications for the pro bowl may be something to address in the next cba)

there is still time THIS offseason for guys like Herbert and Burrow to reset the QB market though
