Leasing Players (alien.top)

What are your thoughts on the idea of struggling teams renting players out to contenders for a season, then coming back to their original team. Is this a strategy that could be implemented ever?

My first thoughts are it’s not very different from older players getting traded somewhere else to ring chase, but I’m not sure if the players would be too keen on switching teams so often either.

Leasing players would be a bad idea on many levels. Players are not really plug and play. Integrating a new QB into an unfamiliar system would take awhile and might pan out as expected. The salary cap issues would be huge and you could see dynasties that last for decades and conversely no hope for the bad teams. What happens with season or career ending injuries? Who pays for that? Those are just issues off the top of my head.
