5. An interesting concept.

Sort of related, but not part of this (as far as I saw), I like the idea of a team getting some sort of cap exception to resign their own players. If a player has been on your roster for "x" number of years, you can pay them a little extra that doesn't count against your cap (most of the salary still would), but if another team wants to sign them, it's all against the cap. In the old days, players rarely moved around at all. Now it can be difficult to retain fan favorites and fans are "less connected" to their hometown heroes. I think the NBA does something like this, though I'll admit I don't really understand their convoluted cap exception system.
