In RL he would tell you where to put it and go play somewhere else because someone would sign him, but in that league everyone works together so he doesn't sign anywhere, that is how it should work.

That's not even close to a valid description of what's going on. We're talking about a guy demanding something like $9M/yr for 6 years, when the going market for that type of player is much lower. Then a team offers him $6M/yr for 3 years, he tells that team to stick it, and then 2 months later he signs with a different team at $4M for 2 years. Where's the collusion?

As to an offering staying on the table, just remake the offer again or is that to much work?

The whole point is that in the game as it is right now, you can't do that.

It's not silly to suggest collusion, you just provided a reason, that they can resign their own players to team-friendly contract extensions, forget about if it's realistic just change the whole system to suit their needs.

Was that in response to me? My point is, if I can re-sign a player at $4M/yr, and the same type of player wants $10M/yr as a free agent, why would I ever even bother trying to sign the FA? That's not a case of collusion, it's a case of not being a stupid owner.
