Overall not a very inspiring list for teams in need.
People who know this stuff correct me if anything below is off
Players that have completed their fourth year without being waive are
RFA meaning their most recent team can match any offer Such as Boyd, Ch. Parker or Zahui B
Players that have been waived, then signed new contracts and completed them but have played less than four years are
Reserved meaning if giving a qualifying offer they can only negotiate with their most recent team unless that team gives up their rights players such as L. Allen, A. Prince and Dietrick would be in this category
Coring question the list above is of the players cored last season does the core designation exist for the entirety of their contract? For example if Bonner signed a 3 year contract does that status last for the 3 years preventing PX from being able to core Griner? Or does the core designation disappear once the player signs a new contract?

The designation lasts for the length of the contract you sign when cored. So if Bonner signed for three years then they wouldn't be able to core Griner because their spot would be taken up by Bonner (unless they traded her away, or she retired). But obviously if she just signed the one-year tender, then the spot opens back up the next offseason and they could choose to use it on either Bonner or Griner.
And yes, no one with three or fewer years in the league is a free agent - they're Reserved if out of contract, meaning they can't negotiate with anyone other than their existing team (assuming the team bothers to give them a qualifying minimum offer to retain their rights).
And while there's a lot of stuff right in those lists, I seriously doubt that Phoenix are going to allow their franchise center to become an unrestricted free agent. |

Thanks
I agree. I can't imagine PX would allow Griner to be an UFA which means that Bonner might be.
Likewise in Chicago if Quigley signed a multi year than Sloot is an UFA but if Quigley only signed one year than Chi has to decide who to core.
I feel pretty confident that Charles only signed one year, but NY is lucky because who else are we going to core.
Sadly, there aren't any exciting UFA on this list.

| I hope Wheeler can go to a better team. She's probably not in Fever's long term plans anyways.

| These were some of the questions I was curious about when accumulating this list. I was confused about UFA, RFA, Reserved, and Cored

I'm not sure who's UFA, RFA, Reserved or Cored

You need six seasons of WNBA experience to be eligible for Unrestricted Free Agency, four years for Restricted Free Agency, and anyone out of contract who's been in the league less than that would be Reserved. Who's cored depends on who gets cored by their teams in January.
So no, not everyone listed is a UFA, not even close. |

What happens in the case of an injured player who was cored the prior year? Will Dream have to make an offer to Angel or core her, or if they don't can some other team sign her? (I assume most probably wouldn't want an injured player that might not play the season, but maybe?)
(This all assume she only signed a one year deal and will be a UFA if not cored - the Dream Press Release said she signed a multi-year deal, though that's not necessarily right either.)

| Angel was cored again this year. She remains the Dream's core player for the duration of her current contract.

If she'd only signed a one-year deal, then yes they would need to core her again to prevent her becoming a true unrestricted free agent. Being injured is irrelevant. If she signed a multi-year deal then she holds the core designation for the length of that deal, or until traded/retired.
That'll be part of why they were keen to get Hayes signed to an extension - she would've become a true UFA without any way to block it. |

According to Megdal, she only signed for this year. But the guy who started this topic (but seems clueless about designations) has her as not a free agent.

| I could be wrong but I believe Natasha Cloud will be a Restricted Free Agent this upcoming WNBA off season
