From there, it will be up to Markus to decide if it is an easy (or valid) thing to add or not.
There are many other things that have come up in this thread, but I believe there is at least one core game mechanical issue as follows:

Current Situation:
When a team submits an offer to a free agent that is rejected as not being high enough, that offer effectively dissapears and is never considered again. Even when the player eventually drops their demands low enough that the offer should be considered, it is as if that offer never existed or was never made. The player does not consider that offer even if it would be the best one for them.

Desired Situation:
Once a free agent's demands drop to a level where a previous offer *that has not been withdrawn* is suddenly viable the player takes that offer into consideration, along with any new offers that are being made.

Why This is an Issue:
It is not an issue for anyone who sims a day at a time, because the player will let the original bidding owner know that he is 'back in play' so to speak when he receives an offer from someone else that he will consider. At that point the original bidding owner can re-submit his original offer now that it falls within the players demands.

However for online leagues where simming a day at a time in the offseason is not practical, the repsonse occurs mid sim and the original bidding owner has no opportunity to respond before the new (and often lower) offer is accepted by the player.

Short Version:
If I make an offer to a free agent that is rejected for being too low, unless I actively withdraw it it should never be taken off the table. The current game mechanics don't behave this way.
