That brings up a good point. The issue is the salary cap artificially limits how much you can pay your best players. If Baker is worth $40m a year then you could argue Mahomes is worth at least $80m.

Since there are so few of those elite guys to go around, these teams have to spend their money on someone. The mid-tier NFL players are the ones that benefit most from the salary cap.
