If you are at all concerned about how free agency might - possibly,
negatively - affect the game that you've invested time in, I would suggest making a backup and then letting the game run through the first few years of free agency, just to test it out. That way, if you don't like what you see, there are likely some settings that you can go back and tweak that might help get the environment that you want...
Note that if you are playing with historical transaction on, then free agency transactions (players becoming free agents, then signing or re-signing with team) happens as it did in real life, however, without the financial component (I'm not exactly sure of this, as I never play with finances on, but I do know that contract details are not part of historical transactions).
