Any restrictions before recertification.....or are all bets on?

So can players change their mind between tomorrow and Friday? Or put another way is it only "deals in principle" that can be matched or exceeded by other teams?

I was thinking along these exact lines. If you can agree to a deal, but cannot finalize it until friday, how in the hell would teams announce the signing before friday?

Vet A. signs a deal with team A., team B waits until friday afternoon, contacts vet a's agent, and offers 2 million more in signing bonus plus half a mil a year more than team a's "deal". vet a jumps ship and signs with team b.

Basically goes along the line of, until the ink is dry type thing. The prevailing law in free agency, especially with the skins, is murphys law. If they cant finalize the deals until friday, then they cant sign the unrestricted players until friday.

SmootSmack · 07-25-2011, 04:45 PM

Nothing would be announced before Friday officially. But it's like the NBA. When a draft day trade is made, it's not official until the league year begins in July. But it's basically understood among all parties.

Same with a free agent signing. Of course, a player can change their mind before they sign as is what happened with Carlos Boozer back in 2003 when the Cavs thought they had an understanding with Boozer he would sign with them and then he decided to go to Utah.

Now I don't believe players can be cut before Thursday afternoon. So if you're expecting Vince Young tomorrow...don't

So when exactly can we sign players? UFA's
