Make AI Teams Carry a Punter

When AI teams do not have a punter, it makes boring games nearly unwatchable. It is also unrealistic.

There should be a minimum 2 players required for every position except K/P (1 each), 3 for backs and TE, 4 for CB, 5 for WR.
My 2 cents. May still be a simple code fix to create minimum player # at each position for the AI to abide by.
The #1 issue MFN is clearly the AI being... ummm... impossible. The concept is still very new in coding, and issues should be expected.
Max # yr contract signings would help as well - maybe 4 years - always min bonuses.
