@dougkyed: The Patriots could technically waive CB Darryl Roberts off IR with an injury settlement then re-sign him, but he'd be exposed to every team.
Loophole gamble is possible
Won't ever happen. Not only would it expose Roberts to waivers, but NE couldn't sign him until 6 weeks + the number of weeks settled for.
Despite the complaining about Roberts being put on IR, rookies who miss half the year are at a significant disadvantage. Coleman is playing as well as you could expect from Roberts and he may not have even been here if NE was using a roster spot on an injured Roberts.
Butler played all the reps last week. It is Ryan's time that will be affected. Coleman will likely be the nickel back, as he was last week. coming in for a linebacker. BTW, last week Brown replaced Ryan in nickel packages.
He did play last week.Brown didn't play last week, did he? I thought he was injured, but still active, without ever seeing the field.
The 2010 Packers had 15 on IR (IIRC).10 on IR already.
You have to look at it on a probabilistic basis. Maybe a low-round draft CB has a 1:20 chance (or whatever the right number is) of being a good corner. Over several years you get a couple of hundred of these guys drafted league-wide, and you end up with say a dozen top CBs from that wide net that was cast.
You draft a top-10 CB, and you have a much higher chance he ends up as a top CB - maybe a one in two shot.
So if you are always drafting low, the chances of ending up with a top CB are pretty poor. It does happen of course - look at Butler.
At this point we should just focus on having S/CB hybrids all across the backfield, that way the oppsoing QB has no idea what their assignments are at all
The season is young.The 2010 Packers had 15 on IR (IIRC).
To be fair, they said that at the time as well.
Why take the chance on waiving him? Claim Charles James off waivers from the Ravens, he was just put there.
Here is a current summary. We're #5, woot! Packers #1 and cruising as well.The 2010 Packers had 15 on IR (IIRC).

Ranking the most banged-up NFL teams from 1-32
Odds say their time will come. Hopefully starting Sunday.Jets are tied with the Seahawks for the least banged-up.
