My understanding is the way it works is as follows...
Any player that's played in less than 4 seasons is subject to waivers. If they go unclaimed, then they go to unrestricted free agency. If they've played 4 or more seasons then they aren't eligible for waivers. Also, if you make a waiver claim you pay the player his previous contract amount, rather than negotiate.
So we place a claim on Leonard Fournette, but we'd have to pick up his 4.8 mil base salary (the signing bonus portion would stay on the Jags books).
