I would think they also lose the pick. I think the consequence here is that RFA contracts are going to go down somewhat. Team are going to be more willing to let a player go because of the compensation, this means less overpaying, which means even while you lose a pick you might get a more reasonable contract. And looping back to a thought from the other thread, with a 3 round draft and essentially constant amount of draft picks, there is plenty of talent in free agency that can make up for a lost 2nd or 3rd round pick.

What do we think about also removing the loss of draft picks when signing RFAs? We will have more people bidding on players, while the teams that lose players will still get the supplemental pick.
if the team JUST gets a 1.5 round pick and not a 2nd round pick with it, that's reasonable, makes sense and has a point to it. Giving a second pick to a team for not matching an offer doesn't solve anything as well as creates issues...some teams would have 5 draft picks and another team would have 2 draft picks. As per the example, most of the teams getting 5 picks would be high end teams, not struggling teams. That's a huge swing in draft picks in only a 3 round draft.
excellent points Preston and great idea
