I don't think any other rule would be impacted...there would not be a years cap on the TS..once you move a player to Active, you assign years..the contract then becomes guaranteed. You can still move the player back to TS, with salary penalty added, but now years will count down as they would on active.

Yes, some late bloomers maybe be held for several extra years over standard 5 year contract, but the owner would also have to burn that slot those extra years on one of the rookie squads...

I really only seeing this happen rarely.

But yes, some owners who have room, could delay a player moving up, and keep him for several extra years...

Salaries would still increase each year as usual. Rookie bonuses also would apply. Keep rookie bonuses being applied for 1st 5 contract years still, unless cut by drafting team, and signed to new contract by different team.
