My personal viewpoint, I think a great way to rejuvenate interest in a save is to take over a new team in your league (or an expansion team), and build them up. So you still see the familiar names from your save, and you can still watch your old team (and be frustrated at seeing the AI screw up your perfect roster), but it basically gives you a new viewpoint.
Another option I've used in the past, especially when my team is too strong for a time, is to basically expand the league but explicitly not protect the players that I "should". So I'll basically designate 5 or so "core" players, and let the AI teams steal all the other guys from me. That lets me keep the guys I like, but is a way to clear out other guys without just releasing them. Once I even expanded and set up one of the expansion teams as literally half my previous roster, and had fun watching them battle each other for a few years.
My current flaw is actually almost the reverse of the situation in the OP. I have my long-running save, but it's actually been imported through a few versions, so I really want to start a new game using the current updated rosters. But I don't want to give up my current game, since every year I find a new challenge to work through, or I'm just about to give up and suddenly I have a guy approaching a milestone HR or H mark, and want to see them play out their career. I just can't put my game aside...
