Suggestion

Allow a GM to counter offer a better/differently structured contract to a Free Agent favoring an offer from another team.

Reason

Right now there is no way to counter a better offer from another team.

Priority

Incredibly high. Especially for online leagues.

edit: I should clarify this, since I got a PM from Steve and some questions from the guys in my league, too. What I mean is that we should ONLY be able to counteroffer a new contract amount IF a player is 'publicly' (via the information in his contract demands) acknowledging that he likes the offer of another team best. As it stands now, you can only helplessly watch as the player favors another offer. You can't 'call' the player's 'agent' to sweeten the pot. IRL, this would not be the case, and this is especially frustrating in online league communities.
