I just think the reason is, because no one spends much of their money on IDP's..the reason our salary cap was increased by nearly 10K more than Frenzy, was to allow for IDP's. But the biggest portion of that extra cap space is used on IOP's. We rarely have teams with major needs, who cannot afford to fill those needs. In Frenzy teams seem to constantly have to make decisions on major offensive players. Maybe my perceptions are wrong, but this is what I am seeing being in both leagues.
But also, I am not saying I do not like SAC'd, or that anything is broke and we need to fix it. Was just throwing out an idea on what everyone else thought, as I see this as a possible area we need to tweek. And this is where I thought maybe some tweeking was needed...

I wholeheartedly agree with you, but I don't think changing the salary cap is the correct way to go about it.
If you want to increase player movement then we need to tweak the reneg rules.
My proposal would be:
- Eliminate the 1 year trade reneg - so no reneg from trades or FA pick ups.
- Make the 2 year reneg make it more similar to the franchise tag. Maybe the average of the Top 5 RFA per position for the past 3 years?
- A player can only be reneged once in their entire career.
If you want to increase IDP value by simply increasing the # of starting IDPs will increase their value and force teams to allocate more money to the IDP side.
