I expect that's what's holding this up.

If Janko doesn't sign, Feaster's failure with that pick will simply be complete. The fact that there is even a chance he might not sign and that he has options to consider is why you don't take a long term project with your first round pick in that situation. It's one thing to be in this spot with a 4th round pick you hoped would maybe turn into something special, but it's another to have to go through this cause you went off the board in the first round knowing it would take time to develop and knowing if it did (or at least should have know) this could be the outcome.
Regardless what happens, the fact that Janko has some decisions to make right now is why it was a dumb dumb pick in that slot in the first place.
