Too bad. I wish him luck, he has not had much of that at this point.

[SDFan]

so we don't owe him his salary this year or it doesn't count against the cap?

[Bolt-O]

To singe a player.

He has to be waived to get on IR right now. Calculated risk teams take. It bit the Giants in the ass a few years ago I think.

If we IR him we owe all his salary. If we don't we owe him whatever is negotiated via an injury settlement. And before you ask, yes the latter counts against the cap.

Thanks. That answers my question from the other thread as to what do we gain by waiving him.
