There are a few possible explanations to this:
1. Club/National Team legends and once great players (for instance, this manager
(56221) is collecting former Poland NT players). This is also used by some non-Supporter teams who don't have access to Hall of Fame.
2. Scrimmage fodder (just like you said), players who are supposed to fill up scrimmage roster, although most teams just buy random players for 1000 $ on Thursdays to fill up the roster, and then fire them.
3. Teams who set BuzzerBeater all-time records through staged scrimmages/private league games where they use very old players, prime example of this is Milwaukee Lethargy
(23424).
4. In exceptionally rare cases, managers who want to quit buy several players to go bankrupt and become bot. An extreme example of this is old Shrewsbury Honeybadgers
(23572), check their transfer history ;-).
