Related but different issue for me. When I DFA someone, that process finishes as expected, and I go to move them to the farm, only to get a Waiver error. Ok, throw him on Waivers, no big deal.

But I still have to do something with him on the DFA screen. I can't Farm him because of waivers. I don't want to waste a Pro spot on him because that's dumb. Obviously if a player is DFA, the intent is to Farm him. If Waivers is going to block this process, why wouldn't that be part of the DFA process right from the start. I can't just leave him on the DFA screen because the game won't allow me to proceed.

Basically I have to either Pro the guy for 3 days until the waiver process concludes (after 7 days of DFA), or I have to release him outright with the financial penalty that imposes.

Just a really bad QoL experience.

UPDATE - I can't even Pro the guy! It just says he has to clear Waivers first! So it's a circular failure of:
"The player is designated for Assignment, he cannot be removed from waivers directly. Please wait until the player clears waivers and then drag & drop him from the DFA box to the destination team or use the right-click menu and use the demote/assign functions in the transactions sub menu."

Can't finish DFA process without waivers completing
Can't move him to Pro without waivers comleting
Can't move/remove him from waivers while on DFA

Brutal.
