Reserve List Issue?

So i claim a player off of waivers and puts me at 51 contracts (only 78 total on list) so I get a news message telling me so. So I go into my minor league team and waive a player I dont want, buy him out when he doesnt get claimed, puts me back to 50. Few days later I get another news about reserve list, so I do the same, buyout another player. Few days go by, get the message again. In my reserve list it tells me i have 51 contracts, but when I manually count, I only have 49. Yet I keep getting these messages and cant figure out how to fix it.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Know how I can get around it?

I also just realized that the players I bought out, for some reason I still have their rights, i was getting updates about offers they were getting. So I tried buying out a couple more players and dropped a bunch of rights. Still get the messages.

From the first part it was basically that someone in your reserve list (unsigned prospect) was counting in the 51 as he had some sort of a previous contract with the team. That is to say his contract was still counting against your contract totals, even though not under contract right now.
From the 2nd post--I have no clue.

The players you released were they waive eligible?
Do you have anyone currently under contract on a junior team?
Do you have anyone currently under contract that is injuried and been out more than 1 month? If so did you attempt to release them?
Not saying these are the problem but I have run into this at times and it usually had at least 1 of the above that was messing things up. There have been a few times I couldn't fix it myself so I would go on vacation and let the assistant GM handle it.
