Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 761946">Here's the way it works:The GM makes an offer which says, "take a pay cut or we're letting you loose".  That in itself does not exactly make the the player happy.If the player thinks the offer is a low ball, then he goes from unhappy to p*ssed off. If the GM waits until after free agency is well underway, the player gets extra p*ssed off  having preferred to be released before teams fill needs.  At that point it would look to the player like he's being jacked around.It's a tricky business, easier said than done, for all parties to be satisfied.  That's why it doesn't happen very often.Throwing signing bonuses at these players to make up the difference and defer the problem is no solution.</blockquote>
