Would it be bad for a few, like ARoid? Sure, probably. But the NFL has proven that a cap (and, frankly anything that can help level the playing field and increase the level of competition late into the season) is good for the game, which in turn is good for the players (as a whole) AND the owners. Striving for some level of competitive balance is one of (if not THE) main reasons that the NFL has been America's game of choice since the 1960's.
