Troy will probably go on IR tomorrow when the team makes their cut to 85

--Waived, he hasn't earned the right to IR.  If he were a day 1 or day2 selection, maybe.  While I wanted a CB where he was drafted in the 4th round, Pride himself was not high on my radar.

He was a 2020 draft choice and has 3 years remaining on a 4 year contract.  He’s not some tryout player.  He will go on IR

Day 3 draftees are barely more valuable than UDFAs.  If the staff comes across someone that can come in and have an impact now, a 4th round draftee means little.

He’s still under contract for 3 more seasons with 2 million in dead money if we waive him.  Putting him on IR frees up a roster spot and costs us only his 974k salary.  Makes zero sense to waive him

Actually he only counts about 200k versus the cap, but frees up nearly 800k.  Peanuts if we find a suitable replacement.

STO looked better than him. Hope he is alright though.
