Is the whole purpose of waiving a player before adding him to IR just to restructure his contract first? Could Chase have been added to IR without being exposed to waivers?

Smootsmack, speak up on this because I am sure you know the answer, but by resigning Minnifield just to put him on the IR means that the Skins will pay him something for the right to be first in line next year to have him on thier team?

I thought he was looking great in camp. Am I totally off-base here? I get he wasn't fully healthy but was expected to be pretty much back by the start of the season.

Perhaps they know they won't have room for him and trying to make the move now.

He had a set back in recent weeks and wouldn't be able to play this year. We'll see if this is a Malcolm Kelly situation

Finished reading about his situation. This post sums it up.

UDFA vs. 2nd-round pick though.


Shame, I had high hopes for this kid. Hope he comes in next year and makes the team.

Damn, hope he gets healthy

Agreed! For emotional and username reasons.

At least Minnifield didn't cost us a 2nd rd pick

Thanks for the news Mattyk.

C'mon Bruce, we need more secondary prospects!

If Vinny Cerratto was still in charge of player personnel, that would have been the case.

Remembering when Phillip Daniels went down, and Vinny stupidly traded a 2nd and change for Jason Taylor... yeah Vinny would definitely spend a 2nd on a replacement for Chase.

If he wasn't drafted due to injury issues and is already to hurt to play this year I would be surprised if another team comes in to snag him.

This seems like a pretty good time to try to get him through waivers. No one who is at the 90 man roster limit is going to want to cut anyone right now.

There are a number of teams who have unused roster space that could be threats.

[SmootSmack]

Well I meant MK situation in terms of can his knee ever be healthy

And IR will give us first rights to him in 2013. Had to waive him first though or he would have counted against the 90 man preseason roster.
