    Bills Waive Punter Cory Carter with an Injured Designation

    The common mistake is focusing on the "waived" part of the transaction and ignoring the "injured" part. Before explaining what waived/injured means, it's important to understand the difference between waiving a player and releasing a player.

    When a non-vested player (someone with less than four years of experience) gets cut, he is subjected to waivers, which gives every team 24 hours to claim him. The player becomes a free agent if he is not claimed on waivers. When a vested veteran is cut (released) in the preseason, he can immediately sign with any team.

    In regards to injuries, vested veterans can be put directly on injured reserve without being exposed to waivers. But up until rosters are cut down from 90 to 53 players on Sept. 2, injured non-vested players must be placed on waivers through the waived/injured designation before being placed on injured reserve.

    This measure prevents teams from stashing young players on injured reserve. Once a waived/injured player clears waivers, he reverts to the team's IR.

    I thought this is how it worked but I wasn't  100% sure and I didn't want to give out bad information. So I thank you.?

    Can Murphy be Allen's Thurman Thomas?

    Going back to his college days it seems that Marcus Murphy has served as a versatile utility back.  He'll never put up similar numbers as Thurman Thomas, but does anyone else think he has the skill set to play the same role on a smaller scale?  I think that with Murphy, one more good receiver (if nobody emerges from the current roster) and a solid OL, the K-gun offense is reborn as the J-gun. 

     

    A man can dream, right?

     

    Keep dreaming

    How Old Are You?

    ? I'm 53, but my family history doesn't bode well for me because most of my family usually don't make it to their late 60s. My cousin passed away on the way to the hospital at the age of 47 my grandparents all died in their 60s and my mother was only 60. My dad though has beaten the family curse because he just celebrated his 77th birthday on July 12 so I'm hoping to follow in his footsteps.
