If a player received retro development for the camps missed it would not matter how long they sat in FA. Like Kurt Warner, did not play in the NFL till late but "boomed" once he got there.
Here, he would have been looked over at like a 50 ish rating and sat in FA for multiple seasons, but after the first camp he sees he could have gained 20 plus points by accumulating say 5 camps worth of grow. Warner had hidden potential and grew as a player and while playing arena or CFL those first few years of his career.
I'm starting to lean towards having a larger roster for TC, and preseason. Of course I don't think 90, but 75 would keep in less complicated while giving long shot prospects a chance at becoming an explosive starter like what mrfakename mentioned above as well as other undrafted players that are now stars (Seahawks know this system well by signing WR's Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse).
Maybe a practice squad of a maximum of 10 players can be a separate roster from the main roster that is active all season long, and if one player develops enough through camp, could be promoted or at least available since injuries could (And do) occur multiple times in a position in a season. Have something like a Add to Roster button on the practice squad player's page and if you already have 53 players on the main roster, you will have to cut one of the players on the main roster or at least send him to the practice squad.
