There still remains some settling to wait out, but here is that graph as of today.
Team retention won't be accurate until the payments start failing to come in.

Resurrected veteran teams (those returning after a hiatus of some years) are significantly lower than in previous years-one returning team has been gone 8 years, but team retention (before payments are all in) is also higher than normal.

Here are the percentages:

• 9.6% growth (2015 was 6.8%)
• 13.2% are new teams (about the same as last season)
• 7.8% of the lost teams were offset by recovered vets (2015 was 10.8%)
• ~95% Team retention (2015 was ~93%)
• 17 resurrected veteran teams
• 7 new "vets"
• 410 rookies
• 2737 returning vets
• 155 vets missing
