I would think the fact that he's currently unsigned doesn't necessarily mean there are no teams willing to sign him. More likely he (or more accurately his agent) is talking to multiple teams but a contract that works for both sides hasn't been reached yet.
I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if he has zero offers on the table.
If it was mid-August and he was still unsigned that would be a bit more of a smoking gun IMO.
