Does anybody know how an injury settlement is orchestrated? I just found this out:
"Injury Settlement:
occasionally a team has a player on IR but agrees with that player to a cash settlement in exchange for releasing that player. The team benefits by limiting further financial responsibility and player carrying costs while the player benefits both by receiving cash and by becoming eligible to sign with another team and begin playing as soon as physically capable (perhaps even during the same season)."
I know I'm grasping at straws, but is it possible give Crowell a cash settlement and release him from the team...and then resign him?
Is that possible? Or does the NFL guard against this maneuver?
Anybody know how this works?
This guy had this to say:
"The only exception would be if he were to reach an injury settlement with the team within the next four days. Then, he could return to the team at a point later in the year. (It’s a little complicated as to when he could come back, and we’re a little too tired to try to figure it out right now.)"
Putting Crowell on IR is the among the stupidest things I've ever seen the Bills do, and that's saying something. I can't get over it. I was wondering if there was ANYTHING we could do to reverse this STUPID move...
