2. Free Agency
Teams will have exclusive rights to negotiate an extension with a pending free agent through the trade deadline of their contract year. After the trade deadline, pending free agents enter the legal tampering phase and can negotiate/agree to deals in principal. Deals cannot be announced before the start of free agency. Deals are not official till posted and signed.
Players have very little power in free agency in this league. While many people will accept minimum deals, there needs to be an avenue for players to explore "max contracts". The above change will allow players to be courted by teams as well as be invited to locker rooms so they can see what the team dynamic is first hand before making their decision.
Agents also need more flexibility to operate. I think being an agent should be a fun way to take a step back from the league, but still, be involved and make a little money. People have varying levels of time to put into the league and with the log jam that is being created at some positions, the more fulling ways to play that can be added the better.
I think this is a really good idea but there is potential for it to be worked over. A team could tell a perspective FA to stop earning to screw over the current team for example.
FA absolutely needs an upgrade at some kind.
