I've also seen plenty of occasions wherein the AI basically just uses me for extra competition just to drive up the price tag and get other teams teams to bump up their offers, never intending to actually sign me.
Sometimes a player may take less money over more years, or more money over less years then he was asking etc etc.
Tons of variables.
Remember you're not bidding in isolation, other teams what them too and will do what they can to ensure their offers are more appealing then yours.
You should get a message in your mail informing you if he likes/dislikes your latest offer, occasionally though not always he may give a hint as to what in it doesn't suit him.

That did the trick, offered some guys more money than what they were asking and they signed with me. Thanks for your help
