The 2022-2023 offseason is upon us, and let us be one of the many to wish the Las Vegas Aces congratulations on their first championship in team history. The parade is over, the champagne has been wiped from their eyes, and the poor souls who cleaned the visiting locker room at Mohegan Sun Arena have done the lord’s work. Now, it’s time we look ahead to what will assuredly be a busy offseason around the W.
Welcome to Winsidr’s 2023 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 moves are announced throughout the 2023 WNBA offseason. This free agency class is not as touted as the antecedent one, but still comes with some big names around the league that could realistically find new homes this winter. Current free agent lists come courtesy of Her Hoop Stats. Bookmark this page and follow along below to track the flurry of signings sure to take place over the next few weeks.

A reminder for those who need it:
Restricted Free Agents (RFA): these players can sign with any team, but their previous teams have the right of first refusal, meaning should another team sign them, the previous team has the right to match that contract.
Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA): these players can sign with any team they choose.
Reserved Free Agents (Reserved): players with three or fewer years of experience can be subjected to a qualifying offer. If a team extends these players a qualifying offer, the team has exclusive negotiating rights with said players.
Suspended: if a player’s contract has been suspended, they do not become a free agent when their contract expires. Instead, the team still holds exclusive negotiating rights, but do not need to extend a qualifying offer to negotiate.
