Minnesota's Napheesa Collier and New York's Sabrina Ionescu were among 10 players who received core qualifying offers since free agency started on Monday.
Ten of 15 WNBA teams have extended core qualifying offers to players since free agency started on Monday. The core designation gives a team exclusive negotiating rights to a player and comes with a baseline contract of a fully guaranteed one-year deal worth the supermax , but the player can also negotiate different terms.
The core can also be a vehicle for a team to prevent a player from walking free in free agency without getting something in return, by ultimately executing a sign-and-trade with the player.Teams were also able to send out reserved and restricted qualifying offers to players during this designation period, which began Monday. Negotiations will run Wednesday through Friday, while signings can start on Saturday. Training camp is scheduled to begin April 19 and the first preseason games are set for April 25. Free agency and other offseason activity were delayed this year as the league and players union negotiated a new CBA, which was agreed upon and ratified by both sides in late March. The long form contract is still being executed.
