I think some of the signings you’re seeing around the NFL are also due to the structure of AAF (Alliance of American Football) contracts. Any player that does not make a team can be scouted and offered by the AAF. My understanding is if a player signs with the AAF there is an “NFL outs” clause, meaning if the player gets “called up” by any NFL team, they are welcome to accept it and leave the AAF. Because of this teams are making moves for players so that they hold exclusive rights to them. So this could be posturing due to that.
