On Monday, the WNBA released its list of cored players, unrestricted, restricted free agents, and reserved players. Teams can now enter negotiations with players, but we won’t know about actual signings and trades until February 1.
We will go through what all this means, and which 2017 Mystics players are in these categories of free agents.
Cored Players
Cored players are players who would otherwise be unrestricted free agents. But it’s a franchise tag that prevents such player from signing anywhere else.
