In the instance of Cain IRL he would likely lower his ask in FA below 6M to secure a contract for next season (in some situations a player would hold out but that's because other options such as Europe exist). Is there a point in which FA's should be allowed to lower their ask below their minimum? Would be hard to enforce whether someone is sitting unsigned to cheat the system though (when having a spot lined up with a team just wanting to make less of a hit on their cap)

That was actually my exact thought process about 3 minutes ago when you started writing the post. It's weird, and I want there to be a way but it's hard with the systems in place for the reasons they are.

Exactly, like the rules in place are absolutely necessary and it's super hard to figure out if a player is trying to use a ruling where you can lower your minimum cap hit to their advantage. So I guess rules just stay in place as they are, especially since Cain is kind of the first instance of this I've ever seen since the minimum salary tiers were introduced

Maybe a case-by-case exception gets made by HO?
