Carryover TPE

[kckolbe]

I have thought about something similar to this myself and even considered proposing it during the last 2 off-season summits.  My thought though was more of like a "pension" type approach where players can carry over minimal TPE based on NSFL years of service.  It would keep the money aspect out of it but may possibly prevent players from retiring and recreating as frequently.  I never really calculated out a reasonable balance therefore it was never proposed but my initial thought was something like 5 TPE for each year played in the NSFL starting after year 5.  A player that plays 10 seasons then recreates would get an additional 25 TPE, which is helpful but not a crippling advantage over a newer player.

I actually really like this idea except that at some point keeping an existing player in the league doesn't really benefit the league. If you are regressed down to DSFL level, should we continue to reward that with extra TPE?
