Following announcements regarding a bunch of the Paris Eternal's players either being free-agents, or traded away, leaving only a couple of players on the active roster, the Overwatch League team has been subject to a host of speculation. To set the record straight, team Admin "Mand0lyn" has released a TwitLonger detailing a whole list of behind the scene situations that led to the team's current position.
The statement mentions how Overwatch League teams are also business-based models, and that Homestands (the LAN type tournaments) were set to account for a lot of revenue/funding for the team. With Homestands being cancelled, teams in general are less financially well-off, leading to the larger contracted players being more difficult to retain.
Mad0lyn also mentioned that the reason the French core were not already re-signed, was "that they didn't settle on their same contract and can now trial with other teams/go looking for offers." These players have not been ruled out by Paris either, as it is also stated; "Ben [BenBest] even specified in his second tweet that he is still in talks with Paris. But neither Nico or SoOn included that same stipulation."
