I've long toyed with the idea but haven't found the right combination of interest and circumstances to make this happen as of yet, but I was curious what OOTPers thought about joining a modern, real roster league in which the commish does not run a team but he (and ideally another non-team owner) does serve as the agent for the players.

Basically, the owners of the league would operate their teams as they normally do but rather than dealing with the AI for contract negotiations, all deals would be handled by the league's player agents (the commish and possibly another co-commish or other type of league official who has no interest in any team in the league). Owners would contact the agent regarding contract extensions, free agent signings, etc. -- and in some cases the agent would contact owners about those same things. The contract negotiations would include all that the game encompasses but would involved actual back and forth and, ideally, a better experience for those involved.

What, if any, kind of interest do you guys have in this sort of league?
