I am not being denigrating toward a seventh-round pick. I am commenting on the fact that the pick is conditional. All the Panthers have to do to avoid paying up is simply cut the guy.

I'm sure there is some type of provision for the pick if he's on their roster during the season. They probably can't skirt this.

I wonder if they have to make the 53 man roster first though before the waiver system starts?? I'm not sure and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

If so..., if they cut him, they have to wait for him to clear waivers before re-signing him. You have to have 4 years of service in the league to instantly become an unrestricted FA after being cut. I would think since we got some type of compensation for him, other teams are interested.

I wasn't aiming at you here, more at some guys on another forum. Although it does apply to most of the fanbase universally, I think.

And yes, I hope that there'll be some kind of clause in there so they can't release and sign him. I think he'll be harder to sign and more expensive if they release and re-sign him. I can see some more teams being interested in a good LS and the Panthers can't use any more big salaries.

There is always a chase for certain draft FAs afterwards. Getting this draft choice, if it comes to fruition, allows you to get a player like that, that you want, without having to compete with all the other teams.

I find it ironic that we have talked more about JJ Jansen now that he has been traded for a conditional pick than his entire season here on the roster.. even if he was playing he wouldn't have been discussed so heavily unless he cost us a game because of a worm burning snap.

More clarification on the waiver rules. I guess they do start anytime during the season/off-season:

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/04/wednesday-whys-26/ 

Franklin was a fourth-round pick last season by Kansas City, a receiver from Missouri who ran well and was thought to have some upside by many teams. So when the Chiefs released him on Tuesday, five teams put in waiver claims for Franklin, an extremely high number for this time of year. The teams were Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, Philadelphia and Indianapolis. The claim went to the team with the highest claiming priority, the same order as the draft: the Lions.



I'm sure Carolina thought that J.J. may have had another team try and claim him after being released from the Packers, hence the trade with GB. This also prevents them from releasing him then signing him (negating the compensation to GB), since another team may want to put a claim on him during the waiver process.

The more you know...
