I mean you're right in a sense, if a player is wanted back he can find a way to stay if relocation is the top factor. I was more going after Jonathan's point that this could lead to more player movement. Sometimes player's aren't wanted back (good for the team obviously in that case), and a 5-7 year limit will leave more players looking for new deals at 33-35. Which is obviously tougher.
