A team's MLE can now be a trade tool, usable as a Trade Exception. I think this will make a huge difference, as every team now potentially has about a 12M TE to start the offseason, making player movement much easier.
Interesting. They’ve taken away trade flexibility in certain places, so they needed to replace it elsewhere. Dynasties are going to be tougher to maintain and parody seems like it is being promoted.
I heard an interesting theory today. With the aggregation limits, some teams will use their own free agents as living Trade Exceptions. In other words, some players may get a nice pay day specifically to be used in a trade. Big spenders aren’t limited in what they can pay their own players yet. If they can’t aggregate multiple players up or down, they can set a salary for someone they have at just the right number to get someone they want from another team.
