If the NFL season is cancelled, then how does the subsequent draft work?

Definitely an interesting question.

Based on what the NCAA is discussing about possibly extending players’ eligibility, the NFL may decide to not even have a draft in 2021. If the NCAA extends players’ eligibility, then that’d more than likely result in most of the players that are already draft eligible (and didn’t declare early this year) deciding to stay.

If it’s only a handful of players that decide to forego their newly extended eligibility, then maybe just have the supplemental draft instead.

Isn’t the NCAA only discussing extended eligibility as it relates to players who are affected by the winter/spring sports stoppage? College football, other than spring games, has not been affected, and unless the crap really hits the fan, I don’t see any way in which football season, which is 5.5 months away, is impacted.

Ah is it only spring/winter sports? I thought they were considering it for all sports. But that would make a lot of sense.

Does anyone know with certainty how these declined options factor into the comp pick formula? Are they treated like losing a free agent or are they on par with cutting the player and thus not eligible for compensation?

Not a 100% sure, but since they are now FAs able to be signed elsewhere, it shouldn't matter.  I would think an option is not the same thing as an outright cut. I could be wrong, though.

***Edit: Actually, I just Googled it:  Declining a club option DOES disqualify the team from potentially getting a comp pick.  :)  (The rule was really recently amended).

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
