I think you may be assuming that the AI behaves in a certain way all the time. Its behavior is variable based on league type and setup. I never see quality players waived without good reason (old, declining, too much money) in-game. The waiver wire in my games is the recycling bin for hangers on. That's why the 40-man roster, waivers. rule 5 et al are essential components of realistic game play for me.

I understand your intentions are good but it is unfortunate in my opinion to make a blanket statement about the game that doesn't apply to all league types. It might scare off a newbie who doesn't play the same way.
