School me please. Is the draftee obligated to sign with the team that selected him? Can he avoid the draft and sign with the team of his choice?
I didn't follow the dealings of the NFL years ago, just the game itself. But I am familiar with the deal that Rivers pulled and have a little idea about Elway as well. What prevents others from pulling these stunts? I mean if the teams can suck for luck, can the player as well? Can someone like Tua say, "I want to play for the Patriots only!" and refuse to join the draft?
It wasn't Rivers who pulled that stunt it was the holy family of the Mannings that forced that trade. Eli refused to play for the Chargers.
Edit: see that it had already been responded to.
