I have a habit of checking how my former player are doing and I just noticed that this guy (33196498) is retired. How is that possible that great player like this was removed from the game? How does free agency actually work?
I am writing about this because it doesnt take a genius to notice that there is not enough players in the game, what drives tl prices to some ridiculous levels. And the teams that are not able to buy players ultimately quit. And the reasons we have that situation are: A. Draft that doesnt provide us with players who can contribute right away; and B. To even bigger extend training system that doesnt allow us train enough players.
And free agency situation doesnt help!
Is it ever gonna change? Or the game will die with players growing older and retiring.

This is directly from the Game Manual.

Players with at least 60 skill points and a salary no higher than $80 000 that are manually fired or released by teams that have been abandoned (gone bot) are put on the transfer list at ten times their salary, with the maximum possible listing price for all players being $500,000. If a player can't find a team interested in them at that price, they will begrudgingly accept retirement. Any players that are not deemed as top talent in their age group will just retire right away.

Thank you for the answer. I somehow missed the salary thing. It explains why he wasnt a free agent. But the fact that great players are forced to retire when they could still play for 5-6 more seasons make no sense. It hurts the game in my opinion. As a manager who has been here for 20+ seasons transfer market frustrates me more and more, and the fact that this situation is being created deliberately by game developers absolutely amazes me.
