Sounds like Duigan has been cut.
Despite suggestions in the media, I can't see any advantage to having Scotty as a nominated rookie vs being on the senior list, as we can just change the structure (39+5 vs 38+6). If he's a rookie, 50% of his salary is outside the cap, but he would surely lose veteran status as he would need to be delisted, then redrafted as a rookie. As a Vet, we should save $112.5k. He should not be on more than $200k, so it doesn't make sense to delist.
That leaves 9 picks total, hard to know if we'll go 4 ND and 5 rookie or the other way round.

9 new draftees looks really heavy to me.
I don't think we set out to have that many picks and if we did , we may have liked to see some close up the order.
