FAs in an online league

We are in our first offseason in OOTP 9 and the FA demands are out of this world, and they don't seem to be going down. Why is this, and will they get more reasonable?

What kind of cash does everyone have? If there is free money floating around, players will want it.

There is some free cash that is floating around in the league, but for the quality and age of the FA they are really making some insane demands.

What you'll see is that towards the end of FA players will start to consider lower offers. If a team is willing to pay their high demand, they'll take it of course. But if they don't have any "good" offers, they will sign for a lot lower....even though they might not lower their official request.
