Well, let me start with some items on the backburner that have not been the hot topics of late. First, I think the league should provide more incentive to be a less flashy position, i.e. OL, TE, DT. I believe O-Line and Interior Defensive Lineman should have a higher TPE floor to start with to get more people, or more re-creates to actually enjoy choosing the position. I believe it could be a placeholder position for less active users who would not need to work as hard to be a coveted asset. To further increase the lore, perhaps the TPE costs could be lowered or the attribute caps be raised.
Speaking of raising attribute caps, I believe less favorable player archetypes, such as blocking back, should have slightly higher caps to make the position worth anything when maxed out. A few archetypes cannot be utilized properly simply because their respective max build models are not as powerful as other archetypes in the same position.
As far as the flavor of the month --- free agency, or lack thereof --- I believe that increase the need to spend money is the only way free agency activity will ramp up. I floated some ideas such as regression and position switch passes that would allow players to temporarily avoid TPE deductions in those situations at the cost of having to pay a nominal fee. Let's say a team drafts a surplus of active players at one position and they have to play players out of position, or a player moved out of position to accommodate the team but things did not work out. The player can buy a pass, position switch without TPE deduction, and then leave for a team that can use player at desired position.
