I wouldn't read anything into it until the guaranteed money, if any, is known.  If there are little to no guarantees as I suspect, it may be just a precautionary move in case they have a Guard or Guards on their targets list but are unsure he/they will be there when they are slated to pick, so let's shore up the position a bit in the event that we come out of the draft with no viable Guard prospects.

A contract with little to no guaranteed money is basically just a camp invitation acceptance.
