Why do I have to assign someone whom I never intended to add to my roster?

[Liquid Swords]

Rule 5B states: "Teams are required to assign contract years and declare Active or Taxi squad roster assignments to rookies at the end of the off-season free-agency period which ends August 30th (the day after (Tuesday) the 3rd preseason game for most teams) each season. Rookies will not count against your cap until contract years have been assigned and they have been placed on your Active Roster or if they have been placed on your Taxi Squad, therefore if you were to include the costs of your rookies, you can exceed your cap during the off-season up until the time you assign contract years and declare whether the rookie will be on your Active Roster or Taxi Squad. If placed on your Active Roster, you must have room under the cap to accommodate the player. If a rookie is not declared active or DS by the end of the free agency period, he will become a free agent available to open bidding. Rookies may be cut during the off-season free-agency period with no cap hit, however, once they are declared active the cap penalty rules will apply.
