... and replace it with the Free Agency Draft!
Because I think it would be hella fun to be watching a Draft right now instead of Refreshing internet sports sites every 5 minutes for updates.
As a fan I just find the Draft wonderfully entertaining. So why not two? If I can't have my games then I want some bread.
Just a Springboard Ideas of How to Make This Work.
1. - Best Record Picks First
2. - First round picks are guaranteed Franchise Tag salary for their position.
3. - Players are considered to be Franchise Tagged by the Team that picked them.
4. - Teams can trade Free Agent Draft picks for whatever they can get for them.
Cons:
- Lots of them. But this idea was really just put out there because I think it would think it would be the most fun for us fans. Panem et circenses.
- I imagine there's a way for the Albert Haynesworths of the NFL to guarantee a high paying salary for a year and take that year off.. or for other Players who are drafted where they don't want to play to holdout.
- Not sure how to formulate the guaranteed salaries for subsequent rounds.
- Probably gives Teams too much leverage over Players in the long run.
- And I don't see Players ever allowing it to happen.
All that said.. I really wish we had a Free Agency Draft right now.. even if it meant watching Belichick trade down for the better value picks
