In principal yes you open yourself up to certain risks, but we're transparent about how it's handled and I don't think a negotiation has or ever will boil down to "letting" somebody re-sign or not.
From my POV, and I might be off base, it seems the only real issues w/ agents are time consumption. I don't see how implementing a system that more closely mimes real life would ever be a detriment to the league unless, again, it's too time consuming.
I never said that I did not feel that you guys do it fairly, I agree completely that you do in your process. I said that it opens you up to criticism. I never said that criticism was fair or just. People have a skewed perception at times.
i can understand the "why" for it being done and I can accept that even though I don't care for it. I just don't like that now the scope is being looked at on a larger scale. Now it is 88 and 89 players, then it will be 86 and 87... you get my drift. I just feel it is fine as is, we don't need a larger scale in place.
