Stephen Hill waived

[PoundCat]

I was really pulling for the guy. I do wish him the best.

Undrafted WR Paul Browning from Colorado State added to the roster, according to Bleacher Report.

[Mr. Scot]

To be clear,  he was waived-injured,  which would mean he'd  go to IR unless someone claims him. 

(kinda doubt he gets picked up elsewhere)

I guess they don't see him in our plans going forward or we would have put him on IR.

You are absolutely right, thanks for fleshing out the story.

Thank Voth.

I don't know if they have the MRI results yet, but it looks like they know enough to make the decision.

IR is not an option until the roster is cut to 75.

Think I read on ESPN alert it was a ACL/MCL

[Daddy_Uncle]

I don't really see him ever panning out in the NFL

[Gallagher]

In before Belichick picks him up off waivers.

SO you just dont do anything with him until after the 75 cuts and stash him on Ir if you want him.  Otherwise, cut him and move on, right?

There's 3 options:

1. Keep him until first cuts, then safely put him on IR with no other team being able to claim him.

2. Waive/injured him and he'll go through waivers to IR, with any other team having the ability to claim him. (This is what happened to Gaffney last year, the Patriots claimed him. It's an unwritten rule that you just don't do that.)

3. Release him with an injury settlement. This can only be done if the player/agent agree to the settlement, and of course if the team wants to completely move on from him.

 

We chose #2 with Hill. If nobody claims him, he goes to IR still, as if we waited until after the first cuts.

[Mr. Scot]

Injury settlement strikes me as a legit possibility unless they like him enough to wait another year.
