Why does a team need a player to pass through waivers to be put on IR?

It tries to prevent teams from to "stashing" guys this early in the process. The Cardinals would probably go ahead and "redshirt" a guy like Logan Thomas if there were no consequences . However, nobody ever really claimed anybody until the Patriots a couple years ago. I think we might have shelved Eric Shelton one of his first years for some minor injury.

You can IR without the waivers when a guy has made it to the 53 man roster, I believe.

Considering they are still crying over the Kuechly hold that had nothing to do with Brady's pass being intercepted, I'd say they are the authority on butthurt

we tried that once back in the 1860s or something. it didnt work out too well...

 

 

YES PLEASE. i still wish we could have gotten Lattimore...

 

 

what kind of horrible person are you anyway? the man went to see his son graduate from college. and if i remember correctly, he was still in communication with the draft team.

 

 

where have you been the past 10 years? lol

 

 

 

meh the superbowl  help started it, but it cooled down a bunch due to panthers not being competitive for the majority of the years. now that panthers have a rising star at the qb postion and a stout defense, they seem to be ready to go on multiple consistent winning seasons.(imho which will rival the pats eve more)

Well we (or any team for that matter) should be able to IR someone who cant play the season. They should revise something about that rule.

I think it would have to be collectively bargained with the union because it, in theory, protects players, and I doubt the owners feel strongly enough to give up something to get rid of waivers.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
