As it is now, at 5-8, even though I'm trying to win each week and I'd make a free agent acquistion if a real prime one was out there, I'm unlikely to make a move, because there's little upside (win a meaningless game), but plenty of downside (I'd have to cut someone I intend to hold for next year or for the RFA period; I'd have to pay on my next year's cap when I cut someone to make room).
As someone who struggled often it is the situations like this that make it hard for me to accuse anyone of cheating. How you manage your roster this year will impact what you can do in future years. Having to take a cap hit during the soft cap period and/or cut a player you would like to hold onto to win a game that is meaningless (well actually it is meaningful because losing it would likely help your draft position) is looked at differently by each owner.

BTW, at some point we are going to have to try and distill all of these ideas into something we can vote on. Until then I am enjoying the discussion and back and forth.
