That is the whole point of collusion where everyone in the league agrees in keeping salaries down.
I'm sure no one in your league goes out of their way to work together on this but if you all agree not to pay a player their demand that is a form of collusion even if it's not meant that way. You all want to win but you all also keep salaries down because you feel they are to high, if they are is besides the point, where as in RL there are other factors like how the fans might react to know you missed out on signing someone overpriced if they might of helped you win but in reality there would be some team that gives in even if they know it's wrong.
Now to remembering an offer made, you make an offer of say 10 million for 2 years the player says i want 20 million then signs for 5 million down the road, That should be fixed or at least you should at least have the agent ask if you are still interested.
Otherwise if the player wants 20 million when everyone else makes 10 million then that's all he will listen to does happen though maybe not in this extreme but i'm sure there are players who think way to much of of their skills.
