Re-signed ≠ resigned

Public service announcement with lots of free agency talk starting and this being one of my biggest pet peeves ...

Re-signed and resigned are two different words. When a player is signed to a new deal with his team, he is re-signing. When somebody quits their job, they are resigning. Saying "Player A resigned with his team" is incorrect. It should be, "Player A re-signed with his team."

Obviously a minor thing, but the dash makes a big difference.
