Can't Offer Contract to FA

So, this is strange. There's a player I am interested in. I found him by looking at all players in the league, filtering SP's, and sorting on K/BB.

Noticed he had no team and tried to make him an offer, but that option is not available. I thought maybe you can only offer contracts via the FA screen, so I looked for him there. He's not there.

He was released by his former team over a month ago (though why they did that is anybody's guess). Trying to figure out why he isn't available to sign or listed as a FA.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I should add that his profile shows him as an FA

Owner's limit for spending on free agents already exceeded by chance?

Nope, I can afford his demand. Barely. Also doesn't explain why he isn't showing up on the FA list.

Right, sorry. I focused on the inability to sign, didn't pay attention to him not being on the actual list

I've been playing this game for 26 days in total, so had I solved your problem it would have been a miracle!

Make sure he's eligible for your league (if you have any foreigner rules). Otherwise if you can't figure it out, you can upload your league files and we can investigate.

Ha! Thanks, Matt! Not sure how that box got ticked, but I had it set up for no foreign players. Strange, because I am positive that it was not checked when I set up the league in 16.

Fixed, and the entire world is now bidding for him.

On reflection, I know what happened. I was setting up feeder leagues in anticipation of bringing in Canadian and Mexican indy leagues into my ML. I originally had set my ML as based in the US but set to North American Region. This made the feeders hard to set up, so I changed it to no region. That must have triggered the no foreigner change.

I suppose the gentlemanly thing to do would be to reassign him to the team that cut him.

you may want to do a search for all foreign players. You have no idea how many good players got cut with the rule change.

Infractions: 1/0 (0)
even sacrifice some lost data and reload a backup from before the rule change....

might be worthwhile if you see alot of things you don't like.
