In a fictional league game, I was interested in a 21 year old FA 1B with 4/4.5 star rating. He asked for a 2 year deal at 2.2 million per year. I offered the following:

Year 1 - 2.2
Year 2 - 2.5
Year 3 - 2.75
Year 4 - 3.0
Year 5 - 4.0 (Team Option)

I submit the offer and wait. 7-10 days later I get a message that my offer isn't enough and at the same time receive a message that he has signed a 1 year deal for 1.67 million with another team. Not only has he signed for far, far less than I offered but I didn't even have a chance to counter-offer. My team is ranked 15th out of 16 in the power rankings, but he signed with the 16th ranked team of course.

Now, I rarely play fictionals anymore, I'm just doing this to find my way around the game and will delete the league soon anyway. I just wanted to throw this out there as a potential problem or else I'm missing something I just can't see. I do the league file if need be...
