The offseason began with the Orlando Magic extending a qualifying offer to Amile Jefferson. This gave them the right to match an offer sheet he signed with another team. But back on July 12th, the Magic rescinded the offer making Jefferson an unrestricted free agent.
This morning he has agreed to a one year deal to return to Orlando:
