His financial problems are his and his alone. He took the money from baseball and the fact that he's talking about reneging on it already just plain would turn me off from ever considering spending any draft pick for him. I'd rather have guys who want to be there and aren't going to disappear after signing a deal.
So Elway should have been off the Bronco's board? Same with Eli Manning right? Man those two franchises would have really screwed up if they did that.
Technically both guys were drafted by teams they refused to play for and were traded, but you get my point on that being "Red Flags". In fact of people who have done this all of them have panned out. Bo Jackson also refused to sign with the Bucs after they drafted him 1st overall.
