So in my dynasty contract league we have the option to give players we drafted an immediate 4 year contract or keep them on the taxi/rookie squad for 2 years. After their contract is up they become a restricted free agent and we can all bid to acquire them with fantasy $ we aquire/save through trades and what not. So here's the problem.
Player A traded Gronk, Cooks, and Keenan Allen who all are RFA next season to Player B for only a late 2018 3rd round pick.
Also, player B has the most $ of any 5 teams combined and can easily buy out those 3 studs with no competition. Player A has close to 0 so he was going to lose them anyways. Side Fact: They are cousins.

I think the final verdict should be that the league needs to be more active and have more trade talks / offers.
Team B was aggressive, made an offer that benefited Team A, and should be rewarded for that. The more complicated league are, the higher the likelihood for a lopsided trade to be mutually beneficial.
There’s a chance that he is dumb and didn’t think to offer that trade to other owners to get more, but if you’re playing in a contract league with expiring contracts, restricted free agents, etc..., it should be assumed that you know what you’re doing.

The trade stunk, but, more info is needed to convict the two owners. Now, if the new owmer of the 3rd round pick does not return for the 2018 season...

In a best case scenario both trade partners will benefit from a trade. Most trades don't end up that way, but this one is nearly certain to.
