I agree with your other points, and I think your long summary above about AI contract issues is excellent, but I don't understand this point at all. OOTP already
does let you trade a player on waivers/in DFA. The option to trade a player is not 'negated' when you DFA him.
The problem with allowing GMs to DFA a player without waivers is it effectively doubles the size of the secondary roster. I can DFA everyone on my 40-man roster, sign 40 new guys, then DFA them and reinstate my previous 40 guys, and repeat ad infinitum. Preventing that loophole would require a fair bit of coding effort, and is going to complicate the entire DFA process. And for what? I don't understand what anyone gains by changing things. Everything a real life GM can do after DFAing a player can be done by an OOTP GM as well.
