But I don't have any players pending free-agency?

this is a known Bug

I remember asking about this ;)

This bug, when I hit my first eos, caused me to doubt facts and think - well, it may be a resign bug and i better resign all the players on that list, just in case.
So I did.
Bail city. Ended up that team in cap madness (which I expected - but not to the degree after the AI roster fill in {also unknown to me at the time as there is no warning} - I did it mid champ wk lesson learned) that I just was not willing to take the time to recover from when I first started.
i still feel sorta a tiny bit bad about leaving a team in shambles.
It should be a priority fix in the next version, my 2 cents. It is constantly creating unnecessary confusion.

It is something that really shouldnt wait until a next version. It does indeed cause unnecessary confusion.

If I may add, could there be a way to not have that window popup after every SIM? I suppose I could cut those players but I can't remember if they are more apt to resign if you let the contracts expire vs. a cut.

Part of the issue is a limitation in the way the warning is currently being generated. I am working on a website update that is going to change a lot of the ancient logic (the site is, after all, running on a lot of code that is more than 10 years old, which is several generations in web-years! We hardly had smart phones back in that time, let alone proper notifications!)

in my (limited) experience, yes they will hold it against you if the contract expires

actually they hold it against you if you CUT them which makes them LIVID with you .

yup yup. If you want a chance to resign, contract expire.

I just deployed a patch that should fix this starting with any sims that complete in the next hour or so.
