How long until we find out if they actually sign? Its nice to know we have their rights, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will be playing in Chicago next year.

As soon as they get started negotiating. Not a single player from the draft is guaranteed. It's just so every team doesn't go after the same players.

WPS Draft

The first step will begin with a formal notification from that WPS team to the respective player’s club regarding their interest in this player and serve as a notification of their intent to enter into negotiations with the player. Teams will only be allowed to move forward with a formal negotiation process once it has been confirmed that the player is in the last six months of her contract or if her respective club grants access to the player if her contract extends beyond the six month window. From this point, each team will work with the player to negotiate a mutually acceptable contract.

Have they also gotten Alex Scott? The official website says they have. It's not a bad pickup if they can get her.
