About Everett, the fact that he is on the "active roster" right now doesn't really mean anything. Remember, teams can carry up to 80 active players until cutdowns.
After his injury last year, he was put on the reserve list for the remainder of the season and would have gotten his salary each week.
The day after Pro Bowl every year, EVERY player in the whole league on reserve/injured gets "activated."
basically when everett or other players still injured "report" to training camp and "fail their physical" then they would go back on the reserve list and free up the roster spot.
