The major benefit in my opinion, which I posted earlier, is thinning out the talent pool. Combined with a drop to the 90+ overall and expansion we could dilute the talent pool while diluting the impact to the 30 teams. That's why you expand in real life and what moved my POV from neutral to being for expansion. Additionally it'd level out the divisions.
Personally I don't think any team should ever manage to field an all 90s lineup like I have managed to do no matter how good a job they do of piloting their team and I feel I may have gone a bit too far in trying to reconcile the massive retirements affecting talent levels.
In that light it's a stretch as far as how it helps each team, but as far as league health and parity I feel it does provide a benefit. Yes we could do this manually but I get enough flack about the yearly drops as is and people rebuilding have also expressed how difficult it is to rebuild. I think this would be the easiest way to level out the talents without setting back small market and rebuilding teams.
