Yeah that's really the tricky part. I think the costs should be revisited and readjusted if they are out of touch with the market. Obviously players should bring more value to the team than bots. The idea here was to make bots much more expensive than finding an active player so if you did end up with active lineman, you might see some marginal on field impact, but also bigger off-field impact due to how it helps with cap space.
This solution definitely limits the upside that someone like Muford could get paid in F.A. However those insane prices we're mainly due to lack of supply of OL and really high demand (Need 40 starters).
Do we really want players making huge money because the market can't ever possibly hit equilibrium? Meanwhile offensive lines still can't get enough actives and Qb's are getting sacked 10+ times a game? So yeah it kinda sucks that it limits a big payday now, but I think a really high TPE OL could get paid a ton in F.A. in a few seasons when they start out pacing the bots.
