As we talk about free agency providing too many players, and limiting the value of rookies... There's a departure from realism at work in FOF here, maybe part of a solution.
Lots of marginal players (or worse) sit out a whole season unrostered, but then show up in the FA pool basically none the worse for wear. Way too many of these guys, compared to the NFL, I'm sure.
Having a ton of cheap 24/24 guys who played a few games a couple of seasons ago, have pretty good positional exp, and can shake off all their rust in a couple weeks of practice is part of the reason I don't really mess around with too many of these 19/42 fools gold rookies in the draft.
