TH is on the money quite a bit here. (We'll want you in the committe, no doubt). Bottom line: We know the rules going in (or will for sure once we start). If it's for you, cool. If not, that's cool too. Chances are 32 dedicated owners would be into the long-term idea. I also think the FA thing should be set up in a manner that allows teams to fill holes on their squads provided the original team no longer wants the player. This would mean that released players, and players not signed after a set period of time, should indeed be fair game (IMHO). No reason for a SS to go completely to waste because he team no longer wants him, especially if there are several teams that need a legit SS to field a competitive team.
