There are people out there coming up with possible solutions. One I heard was franchise tag +50%. Or something similar to how they edited the 5th year option.

Another idea was changing their rookie contracts to 2 or 3 years with no 5th year option. This one would probably get most of the good RBs a second contract.
Ideas are not solutions. There are a ton of ideas that will "fix" the problem. But what is the impetus for the owners to agree to it? Note: The owners ain't complaining. I haven't heard one owner or the Comiss say it was too bad RB's can't choose where to play & for how much while in the prime of their careers.
