It's the official deal before the official deal sort of thing. Do we have a lot of evidence of players backing out in the NFL once Schefter and the boys leak the deal?
The only example I can think of where a deal was announced and then it didn't happen was Darqueze Dennard 2 years ago.

But I wouldn't be surprised if it happens more often and we just don't always hear about it.
