Reserve/Injured Roster

[Happy Panther]

So what is the deal with this? We still have Jimmy Clausen the salesman on the roster. I thought most of these guys would get an injury settlement and be released. Did Jimmy get a settlement or did we just release him and now he sits on the roster for free

 

And what is up with Kugbila. Who gets put on IR for the year with hamstring and sore knees? Or was there a more serious injury? I assume he is getting paid?

Doesn't really matter whether Clausen is here through the season or not, he's on the books this year and gone in 2014 regardless.

 

The Kugbila to IR move seems more like one of our classic stash him for next year and hope he does something strategies.

I'm pretty sure Kugbila had a procedure done on his knees.

If the player clears injury waivers, the team can then either place the player on IR or agree to an injury settlement (paying the player for the weeks that he is expected to be recovering from his injury) and then release the player.

 From the internet. I'm just curious if Clausen is still under his old contract.

 

Also if we could technically call him back to the regular roster if needed.

I am not a Clausen fan.

 

But, he is costing next to nothing and knows the offense.....not much more you could want from your possible 3rd string QB.

 

He is a meh to me.

Jimmy is a good likable kid that just doesn't have what it takes to be a QB in the NFL.

Jimmy is costing us over 800,000 this year, that's more than half the players on our roster. He's still on his 2nd-rounder contract.

He generally comes off as likable, but I know pre-draft he had a rep for being a bit of a douche.

Granted, that's a lot of college athletes. Maybe he's grown up some since then (don't really know).

NFL contract wise that's still pretty low.

 

I'm not arguing for keeping him, but I just don't think there is a major benefit either way if he's gone now or in 2014.

[monkey48]

I agree there's no huge cap benefit from cutting him. However, it's still far more than he deserves.
