I think my biggest contention with the rule is only one party is affected as the result of the breaking of the contract. Player and Team agree to a contract, as this rule stands the team is the only party penalized when the contract is not honoured. the only way to make it fair is to punish both parties (player and team). So you're left with a situation in which you're either punishing the people participating on your site for something that doesn't give them an unfair advantage, or unfairly punishing teams in situations they have no control. Not only is this not realistic, it makes the site less fun.

However, if your goal is to add this as a stipulation for the site, the player should face some sort of hardship as well to recreate while under a contract. Ultimately a team can't decide whether or not someone retires, punishing them won't affect the rate at which people retire.

Yeah, after thinking more on it, I'm on the "remove the retirement penalty" train as I noted above and it sounds like that might be the way this is headed.
