Larry, the Brewers GM, has proposed we allow a team to convert their Franchise tags into Restricted tags. It should be noted that, if implemented, this would be a one-way process; managers can not convert Restricted tags into Franchise tags.
Jared, the Rangers GM, supports this idea, though he specifically has said "I like the idea of allowing 1 franchise tag to be a restricted tag." This would, at least initially, be limited to one Franchise tag it sounds like. In other words, if you have two or three franchise tags, only one of them could be converted into a Restricted tag. If this doesn't create significant imbalance down the road, this could always be updated to allow all Franchise tags to be converted.

This question says two different things. Is it FT to RT, or RT to FT?

Initially, I was in favor of this idea. However, the Tier change has completely changed my mind on this issue. With the number of teams soon to occupy Tiers 1 and 2 I think there is already cause to be concerned about competitive balance. This change will benefit the Top 2 Tiers significantly, so much so that I think it will hurt the league.
I posted my concerns about the Tier change already, so I'll not repeat my concerns here.

Approved. Patrick's concerns are noted. The league will reevaluate this change next offseason in the fall of 2017 to determine if this change — in conjunction with the tier changes — creates competitive imbalance. Modified rule text can be viewed here. Actual rules have been modified. EDIT: Changed reevaluation to fall of 2017. This change won't affect the 2016 season as tags were already assigned at the start of 2016.
