Mutual Option Broken?

[Neags23]

I posted this in the general discussion forum, but received no response. Perhaps it's a bug?

I had a player signed to a 4 year contract with the 4th year a mutual option. I was planning on letting him go at the end of the 3rd year, but it never game me the option. All of a sudden, when players filed for free agency, his salary just changed to the option year salary and it lists him as signed for this season. The manual states:

"Mutual Option: Both sides must agree on whether to honor the final year of the contract, or else the player becomes a free agent."

"Mutual options are a combination of the previous two options. If the player refuses the option, you will receive the refusal message. If the player accepts, you will receive a message like the one described above. You will then need to decide how to respond, just as if it were a team option."

I never even got an email asking me! What's up with that?

This is with the latest patch, Windows version.
