(And you could either do it with different limits on years for foreign signings, HS draftees & college draftees, or make it strictly age based where every player will be eligible for UFA the first year after they're 27 or something unless they sign an extension. Maybe even introduce an RFA system for arb-eligible players.)

Are you saying that what the players should demand, (and if needed, be willing to strike over), or that the owners should just unilaterally give them this outside the scope of the CBA negotiations?

I'm seeing a lot of articles about how the next CBA "should" contain this stuff, and how the current setup is objectively unfair and the players are being wronged, but it's really just more a description of what one side wants.
