Well. No and yes. Some retired players make the market as Free Agentes, however only if his team just got botified and he became retired for that reason.
If you found a retired player that isn't in the market, there's nothing you can do. But I don't think you can know for a fact he's a good player without seeing his skills, which you wouldn't be able to do if the player isn't at the market.

I think only retired players with at least a 10k salary get to be a free agent.

The minimal salary is different depending on age and nationality.

But there is a SF with Weekly salary: $ 12 519 in my country that is in bot team for a long time (he is 24 but a really good player)...(2745595)
It is funny because he is the leader in points per game in my country...:)

What are you basing that on? I don't know the answer, but my experience is that there is one salary number (occasionally adjusted up by the BBs), independent of age or nationality.

Maybe I am wrong -- at one point I thought the goal was to preserve the best players, per nation, so that the FA number was adjusted depending on the maturity of the league. So I "catalogued" this concept in my head and haven't thought about it much since.

However, given that I haven't seen too many free agents recently it is likely that I am incorrect and you are right.

I'm 99% sure there's no nationality factor.

However, there was a slight modifier for very young players, although I don't know what that modifier is.
