Free Agents is what they become.

I use the OOTP default date, but I have also tried the springtime when the flowers are blooming and the winter when the turkeys are dying. Just depends on your preference.

BTW, I am most likely changing the team assignations with the next release so that any unaffiliated seasons will be set for a players most seasons team but affiliated teams will be unchanged. So depending on the year a league starts players will be either in the organization they were with that year or if they were unorganized they will be with the team they spent the most seasons with.
