Welcome to Winsidr’s 2021 WNBA free agency and offseason tracker, your go-to source to keep up with every transaction of the offseason. This will be a living document, updated regularly as more moves are announced throughout the 2021 WNBA free agency period and the entire offseason.

The league released the official WNBA free agency list on Friday. Reporting on new deals and their terms will be linked next to the corresponding player or trade in the ‘Latest Moves’ section below. All other salary and free agent information has been derived from the Her Hoop Stats salary database and free agent list. Note that the Her Hoop Stats list specifies 11 players under the status of ‘Suspended – Contract Expired’, meaning they can only negotiate with their current team. Team depth charts will not include unsigned free agents.
