It's not just that. How many great Jags players bolt unless they are grossly overpaid? Bills players? Browns? Raiders over the last decade? Etc.?

The consistently winning teams can abuse the system, but this protects other teams where they either have to grossly overpay or lose their investment.

I would not be opposed to some kind of system that limits what you get the following year based on what you got the previous year so the Packers, 9ers, Ravens, and Steelers can't abuse the system.

Like you can't get 3rd and 4th rounders 2 years in a row or something like that.

There are other protections teams have to keep their best players. They can also resign them without using the safeguards in place.

This would be more to my point. Pitt, GB, Ravens, 49ers all got "free" 3rd round picks this year. It's not like these picks are going to the terrible teams - which would still be wrong IMO. But if players were leaving small markets/non-winners and the NFL stepped in a gave them picks, it still makes more sense than I draft well, I get 4-5 years out of player(s), can't manage to keep them so I get rewarded again by letting them go.
