NFL quarterback contracts have continued to increase in a major way over recent years, especially for stars at the position, consistently taking up more of an NFL team's salary cap room.

Whether that trend should continue, however, has become a topic of debate within NFL circles.

"There has certainly been discussion within the league among certain owners about even the idea of a quarterback cap, that at some point you don't want quarterback numbers to go over a certain percentage of your salary cap," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said Tuesday during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show (6:10 mark).
