If a few agents leave a team, it may just not be a good fit, and they shouldn't be penalized for seeking a better fit.
If agents are leaving a team in droves, it's the owner's/front office's fault for not providing a team environment on which players want to play, and the only ones who should be penalized for that are those running the team.
The rights owners have are that the player is locked up for the season, and can't leave or retire, while the owner can do whatever he wants during that season, benching the player, relegating him to special teams only, cutting him, etc.. Though if he keeps a player from playing (much) he should accept the player probably will leave.
Chem isn't 100% useless (though I'd rather see it eliminated than kept as is) to penalize mid-season shakeups; but in the offseason, it shouldn't punish owners or agents for players moving around. Also, because agents might join at any time, it shouldn't punish rookies for signing even in midseason. The experienced checkbox was put there to avoid penalizing midseason starts so people would stay, and similarly it should be done with chem.
Really, if offseason (and first few days of the season) signings and rookie signings started at 70 and all chemistry was recovered at least twice as fast as now, I'd think that would be good enough-- though I'd have no problem if the system were just eliminated.
