Sun signed Peddy to a training camp deal. don’t love it for players like Wiese as it’s just another player to compete with.
odd job for Peddy to take, seeing as Jefferson, TMitchell, Harris, and Banham are already there. i feel like there were better-fitted teams to accept a camp deal from (Atlanta, New York, Dallas, Seattle, etc), unless she really didn’t garner much interest from others which would surprise me.
not much left. if we had evidence Emma Meesseman both wanted and was able to play in the W this season, she’d be one to watch. and if EDD doesn’t sign a contract by training camp, i’m guessing she still could later on and that Prioritization wouldn’t apply to her? but i don’t actually know for sure. otherwise, this is it:
Elena Delle Donne (cored by Washington) Breanna Stewart* (cored by New York) Brittney Griner* Tianna Hawkins Stefanie Dolson^ Danielle Robinson AD Durr (RFA) Riquna Williams
*reportedly re-signing with their respective teams ^reportedly signing with Washington
Surprised Durr hasn't accepted their qualifying offer from Atlanta. Is AD looking to sit out this season? I don't think Durr played anywhere this offseason.
Robinson can still be a respectable backup PG for a team needing one.

D-Rob not having signed anything makes me think she may be retiring from the W. she’s from the Bay Area so i thought she’d want to keep playing at least until 2025 when Golden State gets a team. maybe she’s just continuing to field offers. she’s not great anymore, but it’d be hard to believe she no longer has interest from teams.
Hawkins afaic is below D-Rob on the free-agency scale, but i too am inclined to think someone out there would want to give her a training camp contract. but hey, if no one’s interested in either of those two, i’d understand.
Liberty are expected to sign another veteran player on a guaranteed deal. Curious who else Kolb and Brondello want.
moving this over from the Draft thread, but are they expected to outright sign another protected vet, or acquire another protected vet via trade? i’ve said what i said on the latter option, but i’m not sure i see who else is left to outright sign to a guaranteed deal, unless there’s yet another player (namely of the post variety) in the Spanish/Italian/French league who’ll sign a cheap but guaranteed deal in order to get the proper clearance to leave her overseas team early, à la Kennedy Burke.
