Either you have one or you don't. Handshake agreements aren't a thing here, as normally to prove one (in a business law setting) you'd have to prove that both parties had moved forward as if one existed and had upheld the contract (until one party didn't, causing conflict and the court of law is introduced). But we can't prove parties were moving forward because by definition the moment the deadline passed, the players in question are unable to move forward because they are subject to bidding. No contract was tendered officially, no contract was posted officially, nor rejected or accepted. It ceased to be and intent is irrelevant. If Hamilton posted these before the deadline and they weren’t publicly replied to I don’t think we’d be having a discussion at all. As for having trouble reaching people, that’s what ifa contracts are for and bidding. Baltimore had this a few seasons ago with Maximus, he wouldn’t respond anymore so they had to go to ifa bidding for him. It’s not great, but there are systems in place that everyone else follows or suffer the consequences, except for this one off where there are apparently different set of rules. |
