Pro veteran draft suggested to end reserve clause standoff
Boston attorney Bob Woolf proposed a five year veteran draft to bind players to a single team then allow re-drafting if unhappy. Under the plan teams with the worst records pick first and a player failing to agree to a new contract after 30 days would return to the pool. The system could apply across pro sports to curb wealthier clubs buying talent.
