I TT'ed something closely related to this, but it was marked "For Next Full Release." I'll just the whole suggestion here:

I opened a new TT for a way to deal with a problem that some game users have reported. Text of the TT (3862) follows.

I've noticed that the FA pool usually contains some good players on Opening Day. I've noticed that these players have usually had pending offers within the past few months and rejected them. They reduce drastically what they are willing to accept once Opening Day arrives. So far so good. However, I notice that teams that have previously made these players offers do not try again when Opening Day arrives. I suspect that once they have made an offer to a player that has been rejected, they never try again with the same (or even lower) offer. In my view, they should come back with their earlier offer on Opening Day if they still have a need at that position & still have enough money to spend. Chances are that it would then be accepted, solving the sticky problem of good players that sometimes sit out substantial parts of the season - or even entire seasons.
