I wanted to revisit this as we have had some owner turnover and I still this makes it almost impossible to improve your team if you have a number of high value RFA's that have been tendered. I know we don't have to tender anyone but once you do it will hamstring a team to not be able to bid on replacement players. Here is the discussion from a few years ago:

I think once a player of yours is bid on they should no longer count against your cap since at this point you have the ability to decline to match and free up the cap space. The current rules force you to count all your RFA's which essentially limits the number of players you can bid on until one or more of your players sell because it holds you cap space hostage. Not sure if I am clearly explaining my issue with this but I think it greatly hampers a team with high value RFA's.

Anyhow, hopefully we can start a discussion and eventually have another vote since it have been about 4 years since we last discussed this topic.
