Give him a number and a deadline. Let him know it's not a negotiation. Tell him he'll be traded to the highest bidder. Execute. Thank him for his services. Rinse and repeat with the other 6.
If you operated this way as a GM absolutely nobody would ever sign with this team again as long as you were employed. Telling players you won't negotiate with them would lead to a very short GM life.
