For those of you into contract law and player obligations...
Let's say a player gets waived by a team and another team claims him from the waiver wire. What happens if the player doesn't WANT to play for that team? I know it prolly hasn't happened before, but this is a serious question.
What happens to the player when waived? Is he a free agent, or if a rookie, does he HAVE to accept the senior offer from another team?
If he's claimed and refuses to play, does the other team still incur a cap hit with his rookie contract, etc?
I was thinking about this this morning, and figured I'd toss it out there for the more rules-savvy to chew on.
Respects,
