1. Get rid of the draft and rookie pay scales. If a team wants to pay Baker Mayfield star money right out of college instead of Kirk Cousins (insert any other names obviously) on a huge FA deal they should be allowed to do that.

2. Guarantee contracts and make them non renegotiable. Force teams to actually play by the salary cap. No getting out of deals after 2 years of the 5 year contract, no dummy years that spread out the cap hit. This will ensure parity continues.

3. Players must honor their contracts. No hold outs, no demanding trades. If you think you aren't being offered fair money now and will outperform the contract, negotiate a 1 or 2 year deal and then go back to the table when you have a better resume. Players automatically get no trade clauses. If you want to trade them the teams and the players have to be happy about it.

Players will love being able to choose their teams right away and have their contract guaranteed. Teams will like the freedom of being able to dip into either the college or FA player pools and won't have to deal with the "inmates running the asylum" problem.
