Why does a team need a player to pass through waivers to be put on IR?

It tries to prevent teams from to "stashing" guys this early in the process. The Cardinals would probably go ahead and "redshirt" a guy like Logan Thomas if there were no consequences . However, nobody ever really claimed anybody until the Patriots a couple years ago. I think we might have shelved Eric Shelton one of his first years for some minor injury.

You can IR without the waivers when a guy has made it to the 53 man roster, I believe.

Considering they are still crying over the Kuechly hold that had nothing to do with Brady's pass being intercepted, I'd say they are the authority on butthurt

we tried that once back in the 1860s or something. it didnt work out too well...

 

 

YES PLEASE. i still wish we could have gotten Lattimore...

 

 

what kind of horrible person are you anyway? the man went to see his son graduate from college. and if i remember correctly, he was still in communication with the draft team.

 

 

where have you been the past 10 years? lol

 

 

 

meh the superbowl  help started it, but it cooled down a bunch due to panthers not being competitive for the majority of the years. now that panthers have a rising star at the qb postion and a stout defense, they seem to be ready to go on multiple consistent winning seasons.(imho which will rival the pats eve more)

Well we (or any team for that matter) should be able to IR someone who cant play the season. They should revise something about that rule.

I think it would have to be collectively bargained with the union because it, in theory, protects players, and I doubt the owners feel strongly enough to give up something to get rid of waivers.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
