Mike, I was looking at your "taxi squad" proposal for a foundation to build from. In that, the idea was to have a certain number of free moves from the DS to the active roster, and back again in case of emergencies. I was wondering what the thoughts we be instead of limiting the number of moves to a predermined number, to disuade moves to the DS by adding a CB bonus to that players contract. We could have a predetermined bonus scale for promoting a player to the AR, and then moving him back to the DS (the bonus would only take effect in the player was subsequently demoted). I'm thinking something along the lines of 25cb per week activated, maxing out at 100cb. Thus, if you need a one week fill in, it will cost 25cb on that players contract if you move him back the next week. This bonus would take effect immediatly upon moving back to the DS (for tracking simplicity sake), and would not effect year end performance bonuses. The amount is obviously subject to debate, but I figured it needs to be something large enough to make people reconsider moving guys back and forth constantly, but small enought that if you actually needed a player for a small window of time, you could do it.
