If a league has more than 4 or more vacant teams you have to contract. What's the point of having dead teams every year. Two of my RT leagues have 5 vacant teams each. I for one hate waiting for Tuesday to have the robot play my away games for vacant teams. You have 175 unavailable players for trades. If you contract to 20 teams in my league, we would still be short one manager. This makes no sense not to contract if the league can't support 24 teams.
