Bears Sign Brandon Lloyd to One-Year Deal

Wait, I thought we were going to make Lloyd a June 1 cut?

Are you allowed to designate as June 1 and play for another team before then? must be a courtesy to the player, and a loop hole for the team. Anyone know the rule?

It was changed on the last CBA to give players a better opportunity to catch on with another team. For accounting purposes he stays on the Redskins books until June 1 (and thus the cap hit this year is lessened - and we actually get relief, but get cap hit in 2009) but he is free to sign anywhere else.
