I think it's pretty simple. If he is still usable, over the treshold and get's picked up, then why should he not play the game? If you want your team to be the last one to own him, then pay his salary until he is under the treshold and retire him. Players above the treshold are usually usable in early rounds of the cup + we have an option to put players in the hall of fame. List him there and let him go.

haha, it seems that all the LA's are against me...

well I understand if people think it's weird or pointless. or have zero interest in it. but i honestly don't see why there were be actual opposition to it...? it harms no-one but the team voluntarily choosing it...

Appreciate the response!

Guess I meant "no harm" as in there's not much potential for cheating or abuse of it...
also really didn't think it would hurt those people you mention either. Seeing as how prior to season 17 those players wouldn't be on the TL anyway. (This wouldn't be taking high demand players off the market that have always been there...)

Also, how useful is a $7k 33 year old in awful game shape -- post all-star break ? Doubt teams would sign one half a season in advance. (I know, you'll probably say, "well then just fire them & let no one sign them"...)

Lastly you'd still be paying all his money eventually. It's save a little now, pay it back & more later. For example, in Season 40 you'll still be paying him! (& more $ than if his skills declined!) So the money part isn't unfair when you think about it long-term.

but there are a lot of suggestion who wouldn't harm anybody, and didn't force you to choose it around here. but when they all get implemented the page is overloaded, and the BB waste times with options who have at least in my eyes very few value. Or in this case could be even confusing, when the option appear just on a minority of players

But I think I won't mind if a player who retired early suddenly unretires himself. Just like "you know who"...

edit: maybe rare and random occurence...

I don't think it's amazing at all. A 32 years old player with that skillset might sell for that price, but I think that it's overpaid. So, everything's normal!
