There might be zero correlation, but it’s the look of it.
Correct me because I am not sure. I think the salary cap money comes out of a pool of money. The salary cap money is not Jerry's money. I think there is a collective pool of money that comes from overall revenue and then each team has X amount to spend.
BUT, I think the money that is paid to coaches comes out of the owner's pocket, just like the secretary and janitor are paid.
So Jerry has no problem paying Dak 60 million a year (and there is probably little correlation to how high a QB is paid and which team wins the SB either) because the money is not coming out of how much money he gets to keep, but the coach's salary does.
Those of you who majored in accounting will correct me by stating it is out of organizational revenue yaddah yaddah. I am talking in simple terms. The money for the cap is not money Jerry can keep. The money that goes to the organization/business is money that at the end of the day is being spent by Jerry.
