Many media sites just report based on reports, not the official transaction wire. Once he's actually signed, it will be official.
Yes, so many are too sloppy and confuse agreed to terms with signed with team when writing these articles. If he signed officially we would have to release someone. With OTAs over I doubt they are making him rush to fly in same day.Many media sites just report based on reports, not the official transaction wire. Once he's actually signed, it will be official.
I don’t mind for the most part either. The only time I think it would be super beneficial to use proper terminology is in the legal tampering period. I’ve seen too many reported signings when in reality nobody can sign and some players have even changed their minds and went elsewhere.If the player is public announcing the agreement, I don't have a problem news sites considering it official. Remember, there's a short list of people who pay that close of attention, and most of them are in this thread!
Does that reduction happen with every contract or just base level contracts
Correct.This has to be a contract item.
