My suggestion relax the rules by allowing Matching teams to trade RFA's prior to the draft ONLY if they give up the draft pic compensation (can get messy tracking) AND pay a 20% penalty as another team suggested, while also locking said player the rest of the off-season if not traded prior to the draft.

I am not following along with this logic....if the owning team Matches their RFA they do not get compensation, so how would they get both?
If they DECLINE and get compensation, and they trade for the player, they are giving up something, and would think it would balance out.
