Why now? He's been available for a full month. Why wait? Why not bring him in earlier, to learn the system and to become a member of the team? I just don't get why'd they take all that time to decide they wanted to take a flyer on him.
An extra advantage maybe? That week (or little less) might be enough to get a scheme or two into him. It's something we haven't necessarily accounted for.
If that's the case, then the gamble really only works for a game.
