Updated: Jaguars Claim Jason Babin

Yes. He'll count 1.6 to whoever picks him up. There's a decent shot he gets claimed.

Doesn't the people who claim him also pick up that contract? If so, I doubt he does clear waivers.

Yes but who says they can't cut him following the season? They didn't pay him any guaranteed money so a future cap-hit doesn't exist unless you keep through roster/work out bonuses.

Does he have to go through waiver wire process?

yes

yes

so then how does he have any say? unless he just refuses to play for a team that picks him up on waivers. That doesn't make sense to me.

Nobody will want him off waivers with his current contract. He'll pass through waivers and become a FA.

I think you can still cut him, there is no more guaranteed money on his contract. So he'd be playing the rest of this year for his contract next year. Who cares beyond this season....

Hm, is he that much of a detriment to the team? We really need pass rushers. That being said, Philly thinks their backups were better so he probably isn't worth it.

Babin sucks. I cant believe people want him here. Eagles fans are thrilled he is gone. He is really a bad football player who is the definition of one-trick pony who cant even do the one trick. He is horrible, stay away from this guy.

One team's trash is... another team's trash.
