There is a caveat in the F/s rule which allows us to rookie him if we choose.
Basically we nominate him as a rookie, and if no one takes him in the ND we put him onto our rookie list with our last pick, which is looking like the likely route, considering our list isn't actually shit anymore and we're not in the position to just gift list spots willy nilly.
Alternatively we just keep his rights and he goes around again next year, be it for our VFL side, or with the chargers as an overager and see what happens from there
