1. If the player is in FA, then anyone could bid on him.
2. The "loophole" is intended as way for teams to retain their players without any contest.
3. I'd be a fan of limiting what you can do in re-signings since you can manipulate the game and, honestly, what player is going to sit there through 8 different rebuttals? Though I feel teams should be able to get the years they want as Mogul is notoriously bad at determining the years to ask for. Two Clicks would be good. Make your offer, hear their rebuttal, and then come to an agreement.
Arbitration is fine as it is. The process isn't well enough executed in Mogul to have to accept whatever the player wants. Every player goes through an arbitration hearing in Mogul when the vast majority of them will meet in the middle in real life and never see an arbitration hearing. However, when they do go to arbitration, you aren't normally having as big of a gap as we see in Mogul. The player that asks for $10M and you get for $5M in Mogul is likely to ask for $5.5-6M in the real world.
4. I'm fine with having this idea bazooka'd and focusing on how players are signed and another idea that was brought up today - raising the revenue sharing to further lessen the budget gaps.
