The NFL salary cap and the league’s exempt status in some ways limit how much money players can make. And yet, somehow it works. You don’t have major corporations attempting to sweeten the deal for a given free agent in the NFL. But, could you?

What’s to stop some billionaire in Miami from offering enormous gobs of cash for an endorsement deal to some potential free agent to join the Dolphins?
