There is not enough information in your post to be certain what the problem is. Here are some things I would check to figure out what is wrong.
Typically FA demands have to do with "loose" money in the league. If too much of this exists or is consolidated among a few teams it can throw other things out of whack.
1) Are the top teams making so much more money than the bottom teams that they price out the bottom teams?
2) What is your cash cap?
3) Do the majority of teams have money at the start of the offseason? Are they barely above water or in the red?
4) How far apart are the media contracts? I try to keep national media contracts close or the same. Then the income difference in ticket revenue, merchandising and local media contracts. This tends to stabilize finances.
5) How far apart are your budgets? If the top teams are 3, 4, 5+ times the bottom teams budgets there will probably be finance problems, The AI seems to have a hard time with too large of a spread.
6) Do the teams with money (assuming there are some) in need of the players that are unsigned and available in FA?
I ran an online fictional league and our demands became insanely inflated for our artificial salary cap. We adjusted finances over about 5 seasons and pulled everything back to where we wanted it. Then I just had to spend a few minutes every other season tweaking things to keep them inline.
Good luck,
