So, you get XP for playing games. Right now, teams have all played 3-4 games, so your guy is "behind" the rest of the rookie class, and will be one of the worse guys on the field just because he's new.
If you retire him, and then re-make him (he can still be free, you always have 1 free player available), with the check box for "Experienced Player" checked off, he'll have 4 games worth of XP, catching him up to the rest of the players in the rookie class. It will cost 4 games of actual playing at the end of his career, though (since the game will act like he played those first 4, just with no stats).
