Would it be a good idea to have say 5-10 key players marked as franchise players?
My reasoning is that you can search for a player in all the leagues and all active players pop up, you find a player that you like and put up a package to try and land them, only to be told (if you're lucky) that they are a franchise player.
I suppose you could PM the other owner first, but if they don't respond........

Thoughts?
