Sounds serious, so I will give a serious response.

Maybe I've been away for too long or not playing enough Madden, but from an IRL standpoint, I haven't liked any of these trades. I mean, on paper, they make sense: User A has a player they don't want/can't keep, and User B wants said player. The player is good, so it seems that User B isn't getting shafted, but look at the alternative. If User A can't trade the player, are they just going to keep him? A highly skilled backup, probably not seeing the field, and give him starter money? He's gonna get cut. User B can get him in free agency; at the very least User B keeps his assets. This past year aside, you almost never see players get traded, and when they are, you see Randy Moss traded for a fourth round pick before setting the single-season touchdown record. Pro Bowler/Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez goes for a second round pick. All this player movement feels more like the NBA or MLB, where expiring contracts get moved all the time. Hell, people are even looking for sign-and-trades.

But...I figured that was just Madden. Maybe it is just Madden and I am completely off base. Maybe I am overvaluing my draft picks, and I should have taken part in RFA. In any event, as for the rule change, I am against it. If the people have fun making trades, let the people make trades. Then again, if the people are asking for the rule change, then change the rule. Or maybe, this isn't up for debate, and I just went around in circles for no reason. Hmm....forget I said anything. Or don't.

Whatever.
