They could have cut him and saved money by paying him an injury settlement.I have to admit that I never thought this was even a consideration.
Well, they did waive 3 picks last year in Halapio, Thomas and Gallon. Derby and Roberts have gotten their red-shirt IR status. We'll see if Wells or ****son can slip past the Turk, but if they get waived someone will probably claim them.I have to admit that I never thought this was even a consideration.

They liked him and paid him more to keep him part of the org.

Roberts clearly was viewed more highly than you average 7th rounder based on him starting PS1. Add in his measurables and tiny contract and the odds of him being waived was never more than 5% with a +/- 5% margin of error.
Hmmm. Not sure IR designation is required.A player can refuse IR if they want and negoitate a settlement. That happened with Torry Holt when BB gave him a spin a few years backIn order to pay an injury settlement, the guy needs to be put on IR first. So it still may happen!

Seems risky to do that to Roberts, right? I kinda thought that putting a player through waivers would expose them to being taken by another team.
He had a 3 yr deal so he was under control.Seems risky to do that to Roberts, right? I kinda thought that putting a player through waivers would expose them to being taken by another team.

Maybe. I don't think it's a prerequisite though. I'm always wrong...who knows.You may be right, but I am certain that being put on IR doesn't preclude you from negotiating an injury settlement. I'm pretty sure the majority of settlements follow that path.

Let’s see how this works in practice. An undrafted rookie player gets injured at the end of training camp and is waived with an injury designation, so that a team that claims him knows that they are claiming an injured player. If he goes unclaimed, which is likely, he reverts back to the teams Injured list. From that point the team and player have five days to negotiate the settlement.
Wells was already traded, right?Well, they did waive 3 picks last year in Halapio, Thomas and Gallon. Derby and Roberts have gotten their red-shirt IR status. We'll see if Wells or ****son can slip past the Turk, but if they get waived someone will probably claim them
Yep. With Roberts i guess its a tad different as he was drafted? Assume b/c he was under contract Pats could IR him and not worry about the waiver claim stuff.Just MCI'd to see what I can find.

Doesn't explicitly state a mandatory process, but there is this:

Ahh so it is prior to the cudown to 75 that matters. Got it.Nope. Anyone, drafted or not, who is not a vested vet is subject to waivers if being IR'd before the 75 cut down. That's why there was never any chance that the team was going to release him; the delay in the designation tipped their hand.

Joe Vellano has plantar fasciitis and should be healed within the month. Likely to re-sign to P-squad when healthy, per source.
so season is over for him?Did I see that Roberts was officially IR'd?
