Making a case for uncapped salaries

Professional athletes are underpaid, and that’s true, no matter how much money Ndamukong Suh received from the Miami Dolphins this offseason. In a free market economy, salaries are driven by the law of supply and demand. If two or more, teams are interested in signing a highly talented defensive tackle like Suh, they should be able to offer as much as they’d like or, if they are really willing to get his services, as much as it takes to beat the next best offer; especially when the NFL is making more money than ever.
