I get the concept of IR to get a man off the 53 man roster if he isn't coming back. It makes room for a guy who can play now.
My question is more on the financial side. You always hear about an injury settlement. What does that usually entail? does anyone know?
If i was contracted to make $1MM for the year without escalators, and i got hurt in week 10 , i've made 10 checks for $625K assumedly.
Does the injury settlement typically get me to the $1mm amount by getting put on IR? or is it designed to be less or is a negotiation where people take into account what kind of season they were having and its a little extra for getting close but not finishing?
I'm just curious as to how it all works from a numbers standpoint. Would a team IR a guy early cause it just works out number wise?
