Call me cynical, you won’t be the first, but I suspect dragging out the announcements of contract renewals is to offset the lack / delay in signings.
I'd say it's more likely to be related to the fact that fans have memories like floppy discs, and spreading the news out helps to "ration" news across the summer.
Even if we signed 10 players today, people would be moaning about a lack of activity by next weekend.
