[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 564446, member: 4199"] Honestly what would probably be better, though a little risky, would be to waive him injured and then try to get him on the practice squad. Why is it risky: When a player is waived-inured, the team has to negotiate a settlement with the player. Typically, it's X-weeks of salary, had the player made the roster. The actual risk, as far as my understanding, is that NO ONE can sign him until X-weeks later after release, but the releasing team can't sign him for 2X-weeks. Why is it better: Once the player is on IR, he's done. He can no longer practice for the rest of the season. As CL is about 6 weeks away from returning, cut him in the last cuts to 53, pay him a 2-week settlement, and be prepared to bring him back to the practice squad in week 4 of the regular season. That should sneak him past other teams wanting to stash him on their PS and give the Packers the best chance of getting him. That is of course, assuming the packers still want to keep him. [/QUOTE]
