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.

      ARTICLE: Rams paid a big price in trade with Panthers to move up 13 spots for Braden Fiske

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      Article:  The Rams must love rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske, because they paid the Panthers a fortune to move up in the second round and draft him. To move up from No. 52 to No. 39 and draft Fiske, the Rams gave up the 155th overall pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ second-round pick in next year’s draft. That’s a rare price to pay, for a move up of just 13 spots in the second round. In fact, according to Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics, the Rams overpaid by the most any team has overpaid to move up on Day Two of the draft in at least the last six years. Ultimately, the Rams used two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick on Fiske. That’s a lot to spend. For the Panthers, it’s a great deal that nets them a second-round pick next year in addition to Jonathon Brooks, the running back the Panthers drafted after making another trade that packaged the two picks they got from the Rams. The Panthers didn’t have a 2025 second-round pick, having shipped it to Chicago in last year’s Bryce Young trade, but now they have a second-round pick after making a good trade on Friday. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-paid-a-big-price-in-trade-with-panthers-to-move-up-13-spots-for-braden-fiske

      Panthers Select Chau Smith-Wade DB - Round 5, Pick 157

      Yeah I don’t think I’d like this guy outside, he doesn’t fit that in the NFL.  I think he needs to stick to nickel and ST to help the defense, he’d probably contribute. I think he’d be a liability outside. I like him okay though, looking forward to seeing him.  Actually that is probably how I feel about all the picks, I like them okay and am looking forward to seeing them. I feel like they were taken for a good reason; though I may not see it yet. One shouldn’t expect to go straight down the line hit every one, butI think we’ll hit on a couple of guys in this group. 4 would be great.

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette WR - Pick 32, Round 1

      i know, but to a degree to can still apply, imo. yes, the guy is a unicorn. crazy circumstances and situations i think kept him away from opportunity to prove themselves for a longer period of time. and in that he and cam are similar. cam took a couple years before he was put in a situation to show what he could do given then opportunity. same wit XL. different circumstances, for sure, but really they were drafted based on one one year of production where they looked dominant. does that mean he's going to be the cam newton of WRS? probably not.  one of the arguments against cam was that he had only one year of "real" production at a high level and those arguments were furthered by the lack of people who had transitioned into a legit starter after so little starting experience.  they were/are both unicorns.
