I just fired up be a gm mode...
...when going into your first contract negotiations, if someone's RFA deal is expiring, and you don't want to re-sign them, select them and say release to ufa, otherwise they're viewed as "competition" for your other rfa's, who will turn down contracts you offer them (undoubtedly due to roster size etc). Ryan Howse was a being a real !@#$% until I figured this out...then he accepted his first contract.
