There should be a way that players can grade owners at each seasons end based on maybe a 1-10 schedule (10 being owner was exemplary and 1 being owner was hot garbage). This could help on free agents signing with teams.
Then player owners can decide if they are willing to sign with an owner score of 6 over an 8 because of more playing time or they go to a higher rated owner who follows the team much more but you may get less playing time.
