Due in no small part to the rule change for the wedge I'd guess....

Interesting.

Anyone mind explaining this rule change? I'm guessing its much less interesting than my post seems to indicate it might be...

Teams used to use a 3-man wedge on most kickoffs. The NFL passed a rule this year saying wedges can only be two men and, if there are multiple, more than X yards apart.

If we were going to do that, he would have been put on IR right straightaway, not waived, right?

By waiving him injured and having no one claim him, we are on the hook for his IR $$$ but we don't own his rights, I don't think.

Maybe, maybe not.

Waived/injured is the process by which non-vested veterans go on IR before the final cutdown. If the Pats were to place Porter directly on IR, he would still count against the roster limit.

It appears Porter received an injury settlement and was released.

Can the same team re-sign him to the Practice Squad later in the season, or do they have to wait for the offseason?

Nope, he's as free as you or I.

I don't understand why did the league felt the need to change the wedge rules. As long as nobody is blocking from behind or below the knees, who cares how many blockers form a wedge? It's not like there was this groundswell of sentiment for change either, except from inside the busy-body Competition Committee.

Isn't the deal that the same team which released him must wait a specific # of weeks, maybe 6, whereas any other team can sign him immediately?

Allegedly the wedge is getting blamed for injuries... :confused2:

Yeah, I've heard all different stuff on that one. Really not sure.

But hey, what I can tell you is that I think I remember Woods getting some reps at MLB this morning.

The same team can sign him. The Pats did this with Larry Centers not that long ago.. And Jason Webster last year.
