Rooker, the Southeastern Conference player of the year as a redshirt junior at Mississippi State, figures to receive slightly more than the slot figure of $1.935 million

This quote has me scratching my head:

I think it means if a team drafts a player and then doesn't sign him (the deal blows up), sometimes the player doesn't want that team to draft him again next year. I had no idea a player had to consent to be drafted by the same team again, but it does seem like a good protection for the player.

Yeah, I just thought it was funny he used "usually", "sometimes", and "rare" to describe the same event.

True. Yogi Berra couldn't have said it better.
