The Saban Way

[BenchFiedler]

I just realized how Saban found a way to release his players without really releasing them..

He put his players on Injured Reserve, which means that you are out for the season and forces you to sign in injury settlement.

Ex.
Chris Akins
Larry Chester
Derrius Thompson
Matt Turk

Besides Akins, I'm sure all 3 of them were not really out for the whole season...

I'm guessing Wade Smith and Kendall Newson are the next victims.

How does this benefit the Fins?

:confused: what does this accomplish

 

[SkapePhin]

I believe it sidesteps the cap hits.. Could be wrong though.

 

[South Florida]

Is there no cap hit when you cut someone from IR?

I think so.

 

[RAS25]

ahh. in that case its brilliant

If that's true why haven't other teams done this in the past?

 

[BenchFiedler]

The injury settlement is the cap hit but a lesser cap hit.

I'm sure they have.

 

[Dolfan4life!]

I'm sure they have.

Maybe here and there, but not to the extent that Saban has been doing lately.

Walters was also cut from the IR
