You still have to buy him out so the player would get all that money upfront and then he also gets a brand new contract. It doesn't make any sense when another team could sign him for less money and he'd agree to it, but not the team that released him. The only way this would work is if we say that he has to make at least what he was making annually with his previous team.
I totally agree. If we pay to release him we should have the right to re-sign him. We already paid the penalty it takes to cancel his contract, why couldn't we sign him if we are willing to give him more money than any other team. If I was to sign Zim again, it would've cost me a total of 26M-27M. I think it's fair for me to have a shot at him giving those circumstances.
