You can stop explaining it. I understand how it works. I'm just saying......that the deal is not officially done until the paperwork is drafted and signed. You can agree verbally all you want, but until the drafted paperwork matches everything you talked about and it is signed, the deal isn't completed. That's all I'm trying to say. I'm not saying you can't verbally agree to terms, but saying something is done before the contracts have been drafted and signed is incorrect. The fact remains that you can verbally agree to things all you want and still not sign the contract.

Exactly. Case in point: Jimbo Fisher and Tom Herman in 2019. Its all verbal so the press doesn't get anything that can be published. But remember once an AD welches on his verbal commitment he's finished in the business as an AD. No agent will ever deal with him again.
