So much this (and all that followed related to this.)
I find myself releasing or trading players (some of them, certainly not all) and hoping that they catch on somewhere else and get a chance to show what they can do. I just hope they don't do it against my team (although, it seems to me like players who formerly played on my team and come back to play against us always do great in at least the first few times they face us as an opponent. Probably just my imagination/confirmation bias. But still.)
Sometimes I almost find myself talking to them (because I wouldn't actually talk out loud, by myself, in front of my television screen, to imaginary players in a computer game- I mean that would be insane right... and I'm not insane, no sirree, I'm not, won't catch me doing anything like that) and saying something like sorry, man, nothing personal. We just don't have spot for you. I sincerely hope this new organization has some kind of role for you and I wish you the very best.
