I havent followed the rule changes, so I dont really know what Reiss was talking about. But he clearly was investigating Demps being IRd and I dont know whether it was about the IR exemption or something else.
But I will take your word for it, and Demps will stay in the IR for the remainder of this season.
Yeah, Reiss was investigating whether or not it was the IR exemption.
Like many other things I could obviously be wrong, but with the common sense factor and multiple sources confirming it, I'm certainly going to assume that it's a done deal. It's pretty clearly stated that the player has to have made the original roster and be on the team as of a certain date (Sept.4), but I think Reiss was questioning whether or not it could have been retroactive to today for some reason. To be honest I am kind of surprised that Reiss would question a petty move such as this so much.
I would have a hard time believing that Belichick would want to waste our one chance at the new IR rule on a guy like that, even as exciting as our KOR could have been there may/probably be a much better player to use it on who is needed.
Demps will be back next year and he will hopefully be in better football shape and have much more knowledge as a potential contributor on offense too.
Cheers, buddy.
