After 5 years more and more teams have multiple franchised players and more and more prospects that will need new contracts.

Is this rule for 2018 or 2019+?

Guys need to learn how to manage their cap and not get a bail out
Besides, we don't change rules once they're written

I voted no on this proposal but I would be open to something like increasing $5M to $180M for 2019 and 2020, then increasing another $5M to $185M for 2021 and 2022.
Thoughts on that? There should be some sort of increase. We started with $170M in 2013 and have been at $175M for 2014-2017.
Keep in mind you do have a $10M cushion to use in the offseason (during Free Agency, etc) so you can go up to $185M as long as you're back down under $175M by Opening Day.

Most of the raises are through free agent spending and not normal arbitration salary increases. Even franchise and prospect tags are an absolute steal. if guys want to bid $50m for a player, they don't need a bail out with a cap increase.

Yea, I agree with Jason. At this point, the only salary inflation are contracts that we have created. If you are spending beyond your means in free agency, then it will limit you in the future. There's always the option to release a player on a bad contract and the consequences are pretty light.

This proposal is already dead. May want to bring it up again next off-season although my vote will still be a no.

This was exactly why I brought this up. I could care less I was fairly certain it would get shot down, however I knew when Scott created this league he had mentioned increasing the cap at some point. I find it ironic that while no money needs to be increased being allowed to keep more prospects would just fine to many more
