1. Meh not sure its ultimately needed but 10% is nothing drastic but players making more money isn't a big deal since there's a lot of cash floating around anyway.
2. I agree on principle here but I think by only giving it a year you will be creating the same dynamic that we all wanted to avoid 2 seasons ago when this was brought up. You are going to force guys to spend a good chunk of their cash right away or come season end they will essentially lose it because any re-signing players will ask for considerably more. Very easily this could set off a chain of events where the Corey's of the league will have to buy any remotely good FA's. Not many teams will sell their picks because it would put them in the same boat, and spending on WB would barley put a dent in. I suggest starting the cap much higher and slowly bring it down over the course of 3-5 seasons, giving teams like that a chance to bring the cash down naturally.
