The agency system was also flawed because of the human factor. Some GMs were getting steals on deals for high end players while others were paying max dollars. The agents we had did their best but it just didn't work.
Prior to agents we had a system where each team could protect one or two UFAs and the rest hit the market automatically.
RFAs were done with negotiations between the GMs and the league - it was very hard to manage. An offer sheet system also in place that allowed other GMs to bid - but it created a lot of hard feelings.
