Exploiting a loophole in the game. A player who did not want to sign with you, but through owner collusion has been sent back, will be very unhappy. The rest of the players will be very unhappy. The union will be outraged. The owner/GM responsible for it will create labor unrest and problems for the entire league.

Of course, I can see how you can make the case if this is an historical league (but then you would not have free agents during the time that owners controlled everything), or a fictional league where there is no union (but again, why would you have free agents then?).
