If the Bills Put Alonso on IR?


Storm Front

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if the Bills really intend to play Kiko Alonso this season. Is part of the reason they have not IR'd him because some other team could claim him during the season and put him on their active roster once he is ok to play? Or, is there a rule that states an opposing team cannot do something so shady?

Anybody else think that Nigel was possibly picking up and/or delivering that weed to Kiko last year? :flirt:

Only if they are waived with the designated "waived-injured" label, or whatever.

 

Here you go, this should help a little bit...

Waived/Injured: When a team waives an injured player any other team may claim him. If a player clears waivers the player is immediately reverted to IR or the team will negotiate an injury settlement to allow the player to pursue other opportunities with another club.

 

That is NOT happening with Kiko Alonso, for any reason...so, no need to worry about that.

 

 

One reason IR rules became so rigid over the years is that teams like the Raiders and Redskins in the 80’s used it to hide young talent.

 

This is what the 49ers do with a lot of young players...Skov, Lattimore, Thomas, Acker, Reaser, etc.
