Time to get your final offers in. Signings will start to be announced tonight after 9 pm EDT, concluding tomorrow afternoon. If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting to pounce thinking no one will then have time to beat your offer, not a great strategy with me. My clients prefer teams that have been pursuing them through the process, demonstrating they really want my guys for their team. You better have a good reason for not making offers up to this point and explain why my client should sign with you.
