It's sounding like you are saying you lost a pick for resigning your own player.

Which is why I asked this.

Yeah I know this part.

Ohhhhhhhh. I get it. I always assumed it did this just to balance out the equation. Makes since really. Otherwise it would probably run out of rounds. having to dig down into 4th and 5th and beyond (which doesn't exist.)
If you don't want to lose picks, simple. Don't sign anyone that gets you picks or else release enough good A's that you'll get more picks to compensate.
