99.9% of the time, he just sucks it up and plays for the team that picked him.  According to the rules, if you choose not to sign a contract, you can sit out -- unpaid -- for the entire year, then enter the next year's draft.  I don't think anyone has ever done that.\n\nJohn Elway and Eli Manning both threatened to do that (Elway threatened to play pro baseball too)... and that forced a trade that benefitted the teams that picked them.

Actually, the draft is being held at Radio City Music Hall in NYC this year.  In prior years, you just had to show up and wait in line with the Raider fan idiots and you got in.  Not as many people attend as you'd think so it wasn't necessary to show up super early, although that was about 5 years ago when it was in Madison Square Garden.

It sounds a little shady to me.  My Commish always has a witness around when the draft order is selected (we do it old school and draw names out of a hat).  He had the 8th pick this year so I think it's safe to say that my commish is not cheating!! I would discuss this with other members and discuss how to approach your manager on this issue.

He will announce that he has no desire to play for the Packers, because they did nothing in this past offseason to put a strong team around him.  If he plays, he'll get his brains beat in, game after game, loss after loss.  THE PACKERS SUCK HARD

Choices are to declare for the NFL Draft by the Jan. 15 deadline, or transfer to a Division I-AA school so he can play next season.\n\nI bet he declares.

Players coming out of college are assigned to a league wide draft where each team in the league takes turns selecting them. The selection process is seven rounds long and the order is determined based on the team's record from the previous year (with the worst teams selecting highest in each round). So, what this means for your question is that the Cowboys WILL spend some of their money on young guys coming out of college. BUT, they are limited as to the number of players they can select and the other teams will be after the same players (the players coming out of college do not have a say in which pro team they play for- they must play for the team that selects them). T.O., on the other hand, was a Free Agent, which means he was a veteran player who did not have an existing contract with any team- making him eligible to sign with whichever team he felt offered him the best deal. Players have to earn the right to become "free agents" by putting in at least four years in the league. It's a little more complicated than this, but in a nutshell, this is why the Cowboys (and all teams) divide their resources between players coming out of college (the draft) and players who have expired contracts with other teams and are looking to bid their services out to the highest bidder (free agents).

Only the team with the #1 pick can negotiate contracts prior to the draft.  The Texans did it four years ago with David Carr.  You cannot negotiate an actual contract with a player until all teams ahead of you have made their draft selection, otherwise you're potentially negotiating with another team's pick.

He can play for whoever he wants.  He probably obtained his citizenship so he can play for our team.

The odds are pretty hard but even if you dont get drafted you can still be some one in the NFL. Below is a list of Undrafted players that have had productive careers.

NFL teams don't give tryouts to walk-ons.  You would need some insider to get you in for your existence to even be acknowledged.\n\nNot like college football or even those occasional baseball cattle calls.

They might get a fine, they might get sanctions, but the truth is that they will not likely have the title stripped from them.  They should! It won't happen though.  The NFL is certainly going to be happy about making one of its players getting press, but I wouldn't think anyone benefits from this investigation except the sanctity of sport.  It doesn't matter who the packers get bc Favre is waning.

Hes gonna be lucky to be drafted at all. With the attitude he has, most teams in their right mind arent going to take a risk.\nHis best bet is late rounds getting taken by Atlanta and maybe his brother can whip him into shape. I think thats his best case scenerio at this point\n....Its really a shame to see so much talent wasted like that. I saw what he did stepping on that guys leg. That was just a disgrace. Seeing that disgusted me and I lost all respect I had for him.

Some leagues have a deadline for teams to add players to their roster. After that date you are stuck with who u have. Always check theses dates before you join a league to make sure it is what u want.

no, the commish cannot pick for another person. if that other player does not login to the live draft then the system will automatically draft for them based on the user's pre-rankings.. and it will take 15 seconds to make the pick, not the normal 90.\n-nny

About 300 players signed as Undrafted Free Agents after the draft.  I assume that is what your question was.  If you want alist of names, go to www.nfl.com I am sure you will find it there.  \n\nAs for the Marcus Vick comments, he was invited to rookie camp with the Dolhins, and is there right now.  I don't know where you heard that he turned down the offer to go to camp, that is just not true.

If they can't work out a deal, they either become a free agent or their draft rights are traded.
