Do Something About Offensive Line

The idea has a couple kinks, but who doesn't these days, amirite?

Overall I like the idea very much. A perfect solution for this problem likely doesn't exist, but this is a good start.

For the record, I'm not opposed to this idea. I'm also just not opposed to making it better either...lol.

I am.

Let's make there a 1000 tpe linemen for 10m/season with a 50m increase in cap space for the Legion only.

This is why I brought it up here and I'm glad that you brought this up. I think preventing bots from being used that are stronger than any player is 100% valid and a great idea.

Also for the record.

If any OL is pissed at me for ruining their payday for F.A. The reason why you could get offered so much is because the market is completely screwed up. Demand is insanely high and supply is little to none.
I can't fix the shortage of OL and meet demand without it de-valuing you in that position. However, to get more exciting games, I'd rather more balanced OL than see a few players make bank in F.A.

Berc will find a way to sack himself.

That's how you tank the right way.

Basically we can benchmark it as a player hits the threshold, they get to be the top dog of that for that year. A bot with equivalent or less TPE is now purchasable next year.

So in this example, no OL Bot will have more TPE than the highest TPE player.

I would be careful tying it to the highest OL player. Some may take this opportunity and jump ship to another position (paid or otherwise) and you will be left with no OL breaking those caps for many many seasons while Dline continue to improve.

The highest TPE player in the league would probably be a better approach.

Out of the Otters S1 draft only 2 of the defensive players we drafted are still playing today, one is our GM and one is our previous co-GM who I am afraid may be going inactive as well.

Sorry

That works for me
