Anybody ever seen this or have a reason why this would happen? Using the reserve clause and no $ needed to sign draftees.

Thanks for any help with this.

Can you do me a favor since you're using the reserve clause. Check your recent drafts and see if a lot of the the guys being drafted are getting released soon after being drafted. I'm talking about some of the 1st round picks. Just curious to see what you might be seeing.
