If I had to guess, Phillips may be heading to IR for a few weeks. Yes. I believe if you IR a player before the season starts then they are done for the year. Correct, and if they are on IR after season starts then only have to be there 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really thought McKenzie would be out for another 6 weeks I doubt we cut Sims and Powell. Sweeney seems the most likely. Stevenson left the game against Green Bay injured. I think they must feel good that one of Stevenson and Isaiah is good to go.... doesn't necessarily mean both are to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, Hollister is a big guy. Maybe we can stash two guys on the IR for one cut using Hollister vs Jones............can't be Phillips or Sweeney though, they're bigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they must feel good that one of Stevenson and Isaiah is good to go.... doesn't necessarily mean both are to me. Every player is only one play away from an injury, especially a recently-injured KR/PR. Do you see Beane leaving us with only one choice there? I don't. Stevenson supposedly left the game with a "head injury" (but not a concussion protocol). Doesn't sound like something that takes 2 weeks until the regular season then 3 weeks on IR then another week 'til the game to heal. In fact if they want him to return punts, per Andre Roberts he's gotta have a screw loose 😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Do we know what Sweeny's injury is, and the timetable for recovery? I think the notion of cutting Hollister in hopes of signing him after putting Sweeney on a post 53 IR is kind of risky. Maybe Buffalo is hoping Sweeney is healthy for the Pittsburgh game.

Except Stevenson got a head injury in the game against GB - Sal could not confirm or tell what that meant or a time table - so maybe he could be a candidate still. Hogdkins was moving around, but could still be IR’d to be available later for a stretch if there are other injuries. Johnson seems likely to me as a potential IR candidate. I expect McKenzie to be back. You have Sweeney also as a possibility. They could also use it on someone like Doyle to give him more time as he was injured with a knee.

Again, it’s about the vested vet rule. Hollister doesn’t go through waivers. They already have a deal with him to resign tomorrow. This happens all the time. It’s about roster management.

We don't, but he hasn't practiced a snap for the last 3 weeks. Speculation is he may have had a Jones fracture that was surgically repaired last season, and that it may have re-injured, which could be ?10 weeks? - 3 weeks of training camp, 2 weeks from now until regular season, maybe first 5 weeks? That's a long time, depends on how much they really like him I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 To avoid the risk of losing a cut player in the cut/resign scheme; is there a $$$ incentive (bonus) given to the player in the handshake agreement to resign? Surely, a clean cut of Hollister would have to have been ran by Allen (both personally and professionally) and I don' see him going for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch Beane flip Carolina's 6th for Njoku - he makes $6 million this year and is a FA next year. Much cheaper than what they would have to give up for Ertz and his $12.7 million this season.
