They can't sign him now due to tagging issues. What that means is they can't go over the current cap limit (79.5m) with next season's commitments. Next season they have 72m already on the books so they don't have the tagging space for anything more than a 7m AAV right now. So it looks like they'll have to wait until the offseason to sign him officially.
Which would drop the offer they can give him to 7 years if I understand the rules, which I may not (Edit: read as, "definitely don't").
It was widely reported that the team could satisfy tagging requirements as of March 1......
