Help me understand how the waiver claims works. Are you required to accept every player you put a claim in on and then got awarded? Take a ridiculous example. Say they put a claim in on the Ravens kicker but since they think that the Lions, who just cut both of theirs, are going to take him. So they put a claim in on another kicker. Turns out the Lions don't take the Ravens kicker and we are awarded both of them. What happens? Can we say yes to one and no thanks to the other or do we have to take both and cut 2 players to make spots for both of them? 

You don't put in a claim on a player you don't really want.

First it was a side-gig as a baseball player, and now at this ripe old age trying to make a go of it in the NFL while moonlighting as an NBA owner. God bless 'em.

Jordan “retired” for baseball because he was going to get suspended for gambling. It’s why the mob whacked his father. This was a “secret probation” cover up from the nba not wanting to bring the heat.

That neatly skirted answering the question. The question was "Are you required to sign every player you put a claim in on and get awarded?"

Yes, and we take on whatever contract they had when they were cut.

That's why you would never put in a claim on a player you don't want to sign.

Stupid question but I don't know the answer:

When you put in a waiver claim, are you taking on a players old contract and any remaining years they had under contract or how does the contract work. 

Edit.  I see Mr. Scot posted the answer right before I asked.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
