Welp, as I said above, according to my experience with ootp19, you can and likely will seek to solve your empty rosters dilemma with a FA draft, and it makes perfect sense to do so. However, if your software is anything like mine, your team will turn around and immediately release the newly drafted FAs, resulting in perpetual empty rosters.
I don't recall this with '18. With '18, you just got what you describe: plenty of available FAs and none of the AI teams signing them.
With '19, there seems to be a variance on the theme, in which you can force the AI teams to draft FA, but you cannot force AI teams to KEEP signed FAs. So, I suppose my point is don't worry too much about figuring out how to get AI to sign available FAs because the AI is just going to turn around and release all the FAs you got it to sign.
Again, I believe this feature is new to '19.
