Why is it that some free agents sign right away, but some free agents take 2,3,4,5 days to decide?
If the player has been released from a team there is a 3 day waiver period before he can be signed, likewise if new players get put onto the FA list. Unfortunately, they cannot be signed earlier. It gives everyone a chance to see and offer them a contract. Additionally, waivers are reset at the start of a new season for the same reason, to give all interested parties time to look over and offer players a contract.
