It would've been better if this was addressed to the league to see if it really is a problem the majority of us feels should be changed instead of an underhanded political sit down where a bill is passed in the middle of the night without anyone knowing.
I really don't think this year is a preview of things to come. We had a very rough FA class a few seasons ago, and moderate ones as recent as 2059 and 2060, so it was only a matter of time and wind before an off-season of 20+ comps happened.
I say we hold off on this change until the 2063 off-season and wait to see if this is a situation that definitely needs to be solved, or one that doesn't require a change. I don't see any evidence as to why this may happen every year from now on based on the past 10 years, but if it does become a problem we can definitely make a change.
Also, 2 years @ $7M would be a better starting point if its a 2 year deal needed IMO.
