If his salary does not count towards the cap his owner can choose to pay him what he chooses. Nathan would then have a choice to make. He can become the face of this league. The league needs to do all it can to keep players like him here. Otherwise the slow descent we are seeing viewers, attendance, demographic of audience may continue. This kid is the leading MOP candidate right now. He will win the Lou Marsh Award guaranteed.
