In addition to that particular oddity, I'm seeing similar results as a few other posters; teams ready and willing to give up 1-year rentals almost too easily.
I very much empathize with the devs. It has to be very, very hard to balance all of this. You want to see cellar-dwelling teams willing to move players for budget or prospects, but you obviously don't want to be able to take advantage and trade some lead to receive gold in return.

I recently acquired an elite SP in the last year of his contract for very little. I was surprised, but dismissed it as a fluke occurrence. After reading this post it seems like it might be a problem that needs to be addressed.
