I just watched NFL total access and they said that leroy glover just signed a contract with rams. but my question is how can he do that since he was just released by dallas. wouldnt he be considered a FA?
 
i was curious about the same thing. But i think its just a verbal agreement, nothing concrete.
 
I was thinking that but i seen him in a press conferece settting like it was a done deal.
 
I think that could have been a waiver deal. Not sure though.
 
He was released so he can sign with anyone.. free agents have to wait till the deadline.
 
This should help

GLOVER SIGNS WITH RAMS



Several readers are confused by the fact that defensive tackle La'Roi Glover has signed with the Rams prior to the start of free agency. How could, they ask, Glover sign a free-agent deal prior to the start of free agency?



Here's the difference. The launch of 2006 free agency applies only to players whose contracts expire after the 2005 season. If a player is cut or released before the start of free agency, he's already a free agent and can sign anywhere.



This rule applies only to so-called "vested veterans," who aren't required to clear waiver except during the period from the trading deadline through the Super Bowl. For guys with less than four credited seasons, a release always requires the player to pass through waivers.



So in Glover's case, he was cut by the Cowboys and became instantly free to sign with anyone.
 
Yea..we COULD sign Adams RIGHT NOW if we wanted. But he'll probably wait til Thursday.

True but another reason is that teams dont know how much cap money they will have available to sign a player so they are holding off until Thursday.
