I think this helps small market teams because:
-You can still petition the agent to negotiate a contract for the arby years, and if you're a small market you're far more likely to get an approval from the agent.
-The increased compensation and improved free agent classes allow for the high turn-over required to compete in a small market and as a residual effect, you can sign effective cheaper players without having to fight the bigger markets since they'll be trying to land the bigger fishes you just released for compensation.
Also - Hat tip to Sean for compensation rules idea.
