$0 - They make their money when they sell the team.
$10 M max. Similar to players on their second contract
$10 - $20 M. Like a top line veteran player
$20 - 30 M. As much as the highest paid players
$30 - 40 M. A bit more than the top players
$40 M+. Its a huge investments in a wildly successful business. A solid return is deserved.

Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
And my point is that the league will not do it because it needs THESE players. At least in the short term.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
And where does the rest of the money go? If the total salary comes down to half of their current level, do you think the owners will drop prices?
I would guess you're purposely overstating the salaries as well in an attempt to make a point. They don't make $10 million - a select few do.
A ballpark average salary is pretty easy to figure out if you look at 2009. 59 players count against the cap of $130 million cap gives you $2.2 million/player. But that's too high, subtract the big hitters for 2009:

So, top ten earners make $65.44M, leaving $64.6M for the remaining 49 players - or $1.3million per. So given that the average number of wins/year is 8, your plan would actually be a raise for a lot of players.Code:Aaron Rodgers, QB $9.653M Greg Jennings, WR $8.149M Chad Clifton, T $8.040M Charles Woodson, CB $7.300M Donald Driver, WR $6.400M Aaron Kampman, OLB $6.005M A.J. Hawk, ILB $5.902M Al Harris, CB $4.775M Nick Barnett, ILB $4.684M Ryan Grant, RB $4.400M
Still as astronomical sum of money for most of the rest of us, but certainly not $10million per season.

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
Correct exaggerated for effect.
I know it would be a big increase for most of the NFL. This is Obamanomics at its best! Redistribute the income from all the teams and the "extra" goes partly back into the pockets of owners, partly to the cities that were dumb enough to fund their stadiums and part to retired players. The extra to the owners to be used to loan money to teams to build new stadiums so they stop fleecing us
