OK, we all agree that you shouldn't exploit the AI, make unrealistic moves, or otherwise "cheat". But there are some situations that could go either way, so I'd be interested in getting the forum's thoughts. Here's an example... feel free to add your own.
A first round draft picks signs a big deal, then busts. He's a bum, but has a six year deal with a healthy bonus. I found myself thinking about cutting him after two years and taking the cap hit to clear some space for future years. But when I open his contract screen, I see that he's willing to "renegotiate" a deal for the same length of time, but at the minimum salary. He keeps his original bonus, of course, but takes a decent paycut in terms of salary.
Can I resign him? Is this blatantly unrealistic behavior that should be ignored, or is it comparable to a real-life situation where a player takes a paycut to avoid getting the axe?
