To resign players for less in Franchise mode off-season, go to your "Player Management" screen before resigning and change the player that you want to resign to another position, such as a kicker or punter (the worst overall possible). Go back to resign that player for much less. Note: You cannot save the change unless you have enough players at that position after you change the player's position. For example, to change a cornerback to a kicker, you need four other cornerbacks remaining.
