2017 WNBA Free Agency Part 2!
An UFA Unrestricted free agent is free to sign with any team.
Cored If a team “cores” a player it guarantees that player at least a one-year offer at the league’s maximum salary, but blocks her from negotiating or signing with any other team.
With free agency set to begin on January 15th there seems to be a lot of speculation that many changes are likely to occur. These are the feelings we all have almost every year at the start of Free Agency, but this year may be different. It all started with Elena Delle Donne making her desire to leave the Chicago Sky publicly known. More recently, after hearing trade rumors, Angel McCoughtry put that to rest when she released a statement that she would be taking the 2017 WNBA season because she has “played a continuous year-round schedule with no off-season…that has taken its toll both mentally and physically.” Players and their agents will be able to be in contact with teams beginning on the 15th but will not be able to sign contracts until the first of February.
