Basically the title.
Currently, only max players are tied to a percentage as per the season of the signing. Why not give up on definite dollar figures and approaching every contract as a part of the system? This way, a new cap spike wouldn’t create money vacuum, insustainable summer signing sprees and such.

It may be a more rational way, but I’m pretty sure I’m missing something important.

    fyi, not even max contracts are “tied to” a percentage of the cap

    they are “maxed out” by that percentage in year 1, but in most contracts, the subsequent years are not that 35/30/25% because they have raises that don’t match perfectly with how much the salary cap rises
