When you say drop the financials, which settings are you referring to in particular? You're talking about attendance, ticket price, media contract and cash maximum, right? I'm guessing you're not talking about lowering the typical salaries any further, which dovetails into what Captain Walrus wrote...

What I was trying to achieve there was making the stars of League #1 earn a lot more than the "stars" of League #2. The Player Creation Modifiers of League #2 are set lower, so their best players aren't as good. I wanted a situation where the best League #2 players were paid less than their counterparts in League #1, and when they made the jump over they would get a bump in salary. They wouldn't get paid like superstars since they're not as good as players created in League #1, but they'd get more money since League #1 has more to throw around.
The problem is that it looks like you're right: the "typical salaries" settings
are affecting the demands of free agents. It doesn't seem like it should work that way, does it? Shouldn't the players demands be the same across multiple leagues, with the typical salaries simply affecting the relative maximums each league can afford to spend on a player?
