Player releases: How do I restrict teams from releasing albatross contract players with no penalty?

For online leagues (and solo play for that matter), it appears that owners may release all their players regardless of their current cash. For example, an owner with $20 mil in cash could release players with guaranteed contracts totalling $550+ million (there does not seem to be a limit here). These releases do not impact the teams cash reserves, just their projected budget room. That means the only penalty is that they can't sign free agents that year. Why would the game allow these releases if the team does not have the cash to cover the money involved?

Allowing the owners to do the releases from the game is a fantastic feature, but it would be great to find a way around the issue I have described above. It does not look like you can disable this feature for owners.

Any thoughts & opinions would be much appreciated.
