This transaction is completely invalid — the Oklahoma City Thunder are an NBA team, not an NFL franchise. Sandfort is a basketball player; evaluating this as an NFL move is nonsensical. Headlines confirm this is an NBA two-way contract signing, not a football transaction. Fans celebrated Sandfort's first NBA basket, a heartwarming moment entirely unrelated to football. No NFL merit exists here, as this signing belongs in a basketball context entirely.
