I'm not opposed to a fee, but I think a hard and fast "1M Fee" isn't right. There's varying degrees of talent. One UDFA might be worth the 1M fee, but others won't. Then you have weak drafts where late 6th rounders are getting less than 1M. In the end, it's still giving up more than what it cost you to get your own 6th round pick (which is nothing).
Plus is it just a Sim 4 UDFA signing that creates a 1M fee? What about a June 16 or July 1 signing? Or maybe a guy that doesn't sign until September? Off-Season MiLB / Draft Day signings?
An old league ran blind auction on UDFAs (supplemental picks as they called them). I think that would be the most fair process, but unless Andy can easily create a Google Docs things, like with HOF Voting, I think it'll create too much work.
If I were in Andy's shoes, I would just take notes on who signs UDFAs and releases them quickly and bar them from future UDFA signings. I know I would already have some in mind...
