There are several similarly themed threads to this one (I wrote one myself not long ago dealing with this and a few other things), but love the detail and pictures.

This should be looked at from the agent perspective.

Not to cloud this argument (in fact it is noted in the thread), but the other thing that I find unrealistic is the lack of a buyout on any of these team options. If you're offering an obscene amount ($50mil+, $100mil+, etc) and can void the contract with $0 penalty, that's absurd. If I had an agent I would be asking why the penalty isn't %50 and then we can chat with the team again (and yes, I have been told the percentage is consistently lower IRL, but you get the point). And I would completely shut-down negotiations with obvious huckster management !

Solo or Online would benefit big-time from some tightening (and also some varying personalities/options/counter-offers) in this area. In my opinion only of course.
