I propose the following modification of option #3:
A) One of the cuts has to be above an 80 (or less like 78). The final total has to equal 230 but it can go higher. One can choose to keep their cuts secret if they are trying to get a better player. If you choose to go higher, see part B) below.
B) The person who goes over 230 the most gets to pick first in the first round of the FA Draft. The person who gives up the second most gets to go second. And so on. Tie-breakers are resolved by names in a hat until all 32 teams are in an order. This will essentially account for value and will allow players that give up the most a chance to get back the most. One key point: A person can select any of the players they choose to let go. So, if you weight your FA total on the heavy side with a really high player, you can possibly shed some lesser talent, get that player back, and still have a decent shot at getting some talent back. The risk is someone else risks a little more and perhaps takes your best player. This creates a risk/reward situtation, it creates a pseudo-value system, and it creates drama and suspense. Essentially, it recreates the scenario of "I lost my best player to Free Agency!".
C) The remaining two rounds of the FA draft will go like this:
2nd Round: The College Draft Order. 1-32 or we just invert the FA order of round 1.
3rd Round: Invert the college draft. 32-1 or we revert back to round 1 of the FA order.
D) What if in addition to my proposal above, we gave players an option to opt out of free agency altogether? They don't give up any players, but they can't select any players either until after the trade deadline during the regular season or if they have an injury that has to be addressed.
I propose the following schedule for off-season events:
1) We make cuts. You submit it via PM to FMT with the three players, their positions, their individual points, the total, and the amount you go over 230, if at all.
2) We have the FA Draft.
3) We have the college draft.
I propose we do the FA Draft on Sunday and then we can do the college draft during the week or the following weekend.

), and my offense is mostly the same. My draft priorities are easy, and with free agency I could make some big improvements.
