Decker May Be Gay but There's No Gate

In light of the supposedly controversial Decker-gate scandal, the usually quiet Trichotillomaniacs' public relations team has broken its customary silence and released the following statement.
 

-Tricho team lawyers are in discussion with the PSAS league officials regarding the acquisition of suddenly trendy receiver Eric Decker.  Although the league does not release official rules documents (locked away in undisclosed location only the reigning commissioner knows) the briefings from the meeting indicate that there was no wrong done in Decker's acquisition.

Generally when a player is dropped, the player goes through the waiver system where he will stay for three days, at the end of which he will be claimed by the team that put in the highest bid for him, or, if there's no bidding, he becomes a free agent.  

In Eric Decker's case, this did not happen.  When Tricho team owner decided to release Decker after owning him for mere 6 minutes, the wide receiver from the Denver Broncos became a free agent immediately in stead of being placed in the waivers.  As a result, when Trich scouts decided that Decker can actually be a viable fantasy choice and convinced the owner that he's worthy of becoming a Mania, they were able to re-add him to the roster 12 minutes after the original acquisition.

So the question is, what dictates which list (waivers or FA) a dropped player is placed in?

Of course in this age of Wikileaks, secret documents are in name only even for PSAS.  Tricho researchers have encountered a document that indisputably answers the above question.  Following is the section concerning dropped players in the document obtained through a league official, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation:

Details on Managing Waivers
If you drop a player, you cannot reclaim that player until after the waiver period has expired. If, however, you decide that you don't want to drop the player, you can immediately cancel the transaction―provided it has not yet been processed. To cancel the transaction, go to your team page and click Cancel. You have from a few seconds to a few minutes before Yahoo! starts processing the drop.
Note: If a manager adds a free agent and drops that player on the same day, the player remains a free agent. This prevents managers from locking crucial free agents on waivers so other managers cannot add them.

Since Eric Decker was added as an FA and then dropped on the same day, he fell under the noted clause.  Therefore the series of transaction that resulted in the team acquiring Eric Decker and Jacoby Jones for Michael Bush and Jacoby Ford is to us completely legitimate.  The team regrets that the indecision by the scouts department has caused an unnecessary disquiet, and hopes for a speedy resolve of the matter.  We will conclude this memo with a personal statement to the rest of the league by the owner himself:

"Integrity is the founding philosophy of the Trichotillomaniacs and, though not completely blameless, the current accusation surrounding the team and Eric Decker is not only simply without merit, it also attacks the team's core value.  We will fight till the end to preserve our integrity.  In fact, if your foresights were as bright as mine, you would have thanked the heavens for the rule that allowed you to pick up Eric Decker before he produced 21 pts as a free agent instead of waiting until Tuesday and paying 10,000 PRN to claim him.  But since it seems they aren't you are stuck stirring the pot that is not boiling.  There isn't even any fire on the stove."
