Guys signed to the PS

[panther4life]

Hmmm, that's interesting. What's the incentive of adding someone to IR instead of PUP? New "Marquee Player" IR rule notwithstanding (which we could only use to bring back one of these guys anyway), instead of shelving these guys for a year why not just put them on the PUP in case they're ready to go at some point this season? A guy like Ziemba I get, but I would think it's very possible that Poole could play this year (since, y'know, he played a couple nights ago).

Nice find by dpanther69. Wonder what kind of injuries they sustained they would cause them to go on I.R?

If they were put on p.u.p then they have to come back after week 6(meaning someone else gets cut or moved to I.R)

Good to see Armond make it. The guy came outta nowhere and played his ass off.

Do they HAVE to though? Didn't TD spend most of the 2010 season on the PUP?

No they don't have to. I answered that wrong. Heres the real answer. In order for players to be put on the "reserve p.u.p." they have to start training camp on the "active p.u.p".

Heres an article from a steelers website that cleared it up for me.

So Poole is still a Panther? Butler too?

[ladypanther]

Poole appears on the Panthers.com as a player on IR. So does CB Darius Bulter.

Poole:

Placed on injured reserve with injured ribs by Carolina (9/1/12)...Waived/injured by Carolina (8/31/12)..

Butler:

Placed on injured reserve with a concussion by Carolina (9/1/12)...Waived/injured by Carolina (8/31/12)

Nice, thanks. Makes sense that Gettis would be on the "Active" PUP, and it looks like if he can't go by Week 8 then he'll essentially be I.R.'ed.

So Butler and Poole are on IR?

If so, that is a clear case of stashing players, something Hurney has done before, because neither one of those injuries are even close to season ending.

Are you complaining? Keep the talent however you can and keep building for the future. It's nice to know Hurney is willing to bend the rules to do so. Nothing wrong with that.

It's going to cost Jerry a few million bucks to keep these IR guys around for another year. Rivera must think they all have the potential to actually make the 53 next year. At least they won't count against the cap.

lol just looked up njpanthers on twitter for shits and giggles

In no way am I confirming this but from what I have been hearing my educated guess for the next 13 cuts are: Bryant, Finley, Rosario, Poole

I like how he is also somehow an expert on the Knicks as well

It won't even cost him one million, what are you talking about?
