It would give people an incentive to try the game out for free, and the hope would be that they'd either get attached to their team and rebuild, or maybe they'd buy a team from scratch later.

I've pondered something like you're proposing too, and I don't think I'd have a problem with clone players running around. I wonder if it might freak out some players, though. Still, it'd be intriguing to see a team that makes trades to get 2 Darelle Revises and 2 Troy Polamalus and 2 Andre Johnsons.

LOL, I didn't even think of that.
