What if an NFL Draft pick does not want to play for the team that drafted him?

* When an NFL Draft pick refuses to play for the team that selected them, the team holds exclusive rights to sign the player for one year. If the player doesn’t sign, they must sit out the entire season and can re-enter the draft the following year. However, the original team receives no compensation if the player re-enters. This creates significant risks for teams when selecting players, especially if there are indications of reluctance to join.
Famous examples include Bo Jackson, who refused to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1986, choosing to play baseball instead. He re-entered the 1987 NFL Draft, and the Oakland Raiders selected him, leaving Tampa Bay with nothing. This situation highlights the importance of communication between players, teams, and agents to avoid disputes that can affect both the player's career and the team's plans.
