IMO- There's going to be a war coming up in the next round of the CBA and I think the league caps player compensation. They have had it way too good up until now, so things will look to change. Look at Dareus and his ability to get paid until 2019 without any recourse for behavior, that dream is going to go the way of the dodo bird.
The NFL will look to do a independent contractor type deal, which limits liability for future injuries / head trauma. They will compensate players like the current draft pay system but instead league years will equal more pay. There will major bonuses for making the playoffs / winning a Super Bowl as an incentive to perform, arguing better results deserve more pay. It's not like any of these guys will ever make this kind of money outside of football, so they'll need to accept what they can.
Contracts will only be guaranteed for one year and teams will still maintain the rights to the players they draft or obtain. League rosters will hold at least 70 players so about another 500 more college guys make a roster. Performance and results are the main goal. It's all about liability and performance, so when this extreme system benefits the many directly versus the few who make the massive scores, it will be voted on by the masses. They will dangle permanent healthcare benefits for player and immediate family plus pensions of a certain amount to assure players don't spend all their money foolishly.
This is just my opinion and after seeing how this type of compensation system really helped straighten-out the draft process, it has merit.
