So IR stash?  Can't do it with him?  

He has to make the initial 53 and then you can IR him, in order to return at some point in the season. If you IR in TC, out for the year.

Time to cut bait. He seems like a good dude but can't stay healthy. 


Anyone have any clue how injury settlements work? I imagine it has to do with the specific players contract value?

Not for nothing but he did lead into the injuries saying he doesn't know as much as he'd like yet and on the long end said a week or two.

Can you elaborate on this? Not sure I follow the "long end" bit.

When he started talking about injuries that's the longest he said someone might be out.

    This really sucks. Hopefully it’s a surprisingly quick turnaround and he’s out there producing in September.

   If not, it is time to consider this his last shot with the Bills.

A glimmer of hope, perhaps. Fingers crossed you're on to something here.

Right.  So what we did last year with (I believe it was) Tommy Sweeney could work.  Sweeney, who had a foot injury, was on the initial 53.

To accomodate him, we actually cut a player we truly wanted to keep, Andre Roberts, whom other teams immediately tried to sign. 

 

Roberts had a "gentleman's agreement" with Beane, which he honored.  As soon as the season began, Sweeney was placed on IR and Roberts was re-signed at his original contract, but with his season's salary fully guaranteed as it would have been if he'd been on the 53 man roster opening day.
