Yeah it’s not a sign of desperation but it’s usually going to invite low-ball offers because it says “I don’t value this player enough to have him on my team”
I really just use it to generate some buzz when the league gets a little stale lol
To add some further context, my league mates know that I don’t need a significant rebuild. I have one of the best (if not the best) rosters in the league. I just have had bad luck & the highest Points Against in the league - which makes this offer all the more insulting
