Make the maximum term for re-signing your own players 7 years and 5 years for signing a UFA after July 1st.
It would be like the current 7/8 year model, but would further incentivize good young players to stick with their teams while lowering term limits in general. It would also increase the trade value of players on expiring deals if the acquiring teams gets the benefit of 2 additional years instead of just the 1. I don't know, maybe anyway.
You could also bring back team and/or player optional years.
