My 1st round draft pick was undecided but said he was satisfied with the initial offer he asked for. He came back later and asked for a substantial increase. I don't have enough prospect money left or enough payroll to transfer to be able to pay his new demands. Since I offered his initial demands, will I get a D pick next season, or would I have to meet his new demands to be eligible?

+1 to what mongoose said.

Also, you can offer whatever you do have if you want the player.  He may reject it 50 times.  He may finally sign.  This guy did that to me several seasons ago.:

Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Jamie Heffner

He asked for $6M; raised his demands to close to $11M.  I didn't have anywhere else to put my prospect money and had $9.4M left.  I offered him the whole amount almost every cycle for a few weeks until he finally signed - just about the time the playoffs were ready to start.

So if you like the guy, you may still have a chance to get him.

Unfortunately I don't have enough to make a difference, only about $20K more than his initial demand. Since he rejected the offer, the money is back in my prospect budget. My initial offer to the 1st rnd pick is still on the table even though he rejected it. Can I use the freed up money for IFAs, or do I have to leave the offer on the table in case he reconsiders.

Once he's rejected your initial offer, your Type D is locked in; you can then use it on something else.  You cannot withdraw it while he's thinking about it.

You don't even have to fully meet the initial demand.  If you make a below-demand offer, and he instantly rejects it as lowball, then you have not earned your Type D pick.  But if you make him a below-demand offer, and he takes a few cycles to think about it, before finally either raising his demands or flatly refusing to sign, you'll still get the Type D pick.

Unless I make a trade to free up some $$, the 1st round pick will have to go by the boards. Unfortunately, he's a top notch guy and I'd love to have him. But i'm having a really good season and don't want to trade off a decent player to generate the funds to sign him right now. So I guess i'll have to settle for the D pick.

That's the best part of this game.  You have to make real decisions and plans.  Hope it works out for you.  It's always a crap shoot in terms of what's out there each draft.
