contract offer on comp players

[GoIrish]

I think you should not be able to offer a contract or at least be the 1st offer on a player that you are comp eligible on. In essence you are defeating the purpose of the system, you already have the highest bid on the player and now you offer a lower per season offer. I could see once someone bids, if you want to go after to sign the player at a bargin but the 1st bid does not seem right to me.
