Do that for each team and most of the -lower-rated players will hopefully go to the team that offered the contract. Higher rated players will get multiple offers and need to be manually assigned to their team

The way I do it is to search for each player using - of course - OOTP's search feature, and then put each guy on a
shortlist. Once I've done that for a full team, my shortlist will be full of the, say, 28 players that I want to be on the Hollywood Stars. So then, in commissioner mode, I'll mass-select the group of players, release them, and then "sign" them to Hollywood. I'm not using financials or anything, so I don't need to worry about offering contracts... Then I clear the shortlist and start over with another team... It still involves a lot of research and a lot of searching for players in OOTP, but at least some of the steps can be
group as opposed to
individual.

Cool. Did not know that. Thanks!

Yep, trades are off. It's those releases and signings that seem to be the main component that necessitates creating separate GM's/managers for each team...

Not playing with financials but maybe this is something to experiment with...
