So can players change their mind between tomorrow and Friday? Or put another way is it only "deals in principle" that can be matched or exceeded by other teams?

I was thinking along these exact lines. If you can agree to a deal, but cannot finalize it until friday, how in the hell would teams announce the signing before friday?

Vet A. signs a deal with team A., team B waits until friday afternoon, contacts vet a's agent, and offers 2 million more in signing bonus plus half a mil a year more than team a's "deal". vet a jumps ship and signs with team b.

Basically goes along the line of, until the ink is dry type thing. The prevailing law in free agency, especially with the skins, is murphys law. If they cant finalize the deals until friday, then they cant sign the unrestricted players until friday.
