I don't think there is a ton of bad intent....but I've been in leagues that bumped the requirement from 50% to 100% and it made things significantly more realistic. The 7 year deals became the exception rather than the expectation. It would also be a quick and easy way to stop people from pulling this shit of releasing a guy and then turning around to resign him to a team friendlier deal.
I know the agents have a really hard job to begin with, but I'd love to see them get tough with some GMs over their decision making. We have a tendency to have everyone who is negotiated with, sign with their team. It'd be nice to see some agents stick it to teams for justifiable reasons.
