Brett, I am very honored, that you felt my post worthy of sharing with Trent.
Let's hope his rehab continues well and he can play in 2005. Also, can you explain how this works for when a player is waived/injured and how it benefits both parties. Such as with Kendall Newson and Alphonso Roundtree, both suffered season ending injuries, were waived/injured which I understand requires some agreed upon financial renumeration for the player. A team can't just waive an injured player the same as they would a healthy player. So in the case of these two, supposedly the team waived/injured both and plan to resign both and place on IR after/if they clear waivers.
How is this better than just placing them directly onto IR and not going through the waiver process first?
