Brian Price NOT cut..placed on IR

[speedkilz88]

If things are the same as years past. It matters if they were hurt before or after training camp starts.

Royal we? Not sure what you mean.

I think you overestimated his chances of contribution for the Cowboys. JMO, tho. He might have been a good pickup, but he never even made it to OTAs to even get a glimpse of what he could do for the team.

You said "why do we care?"

I think you overestimated him being off the team.

Cowboys didn't go the injury settlement route. They decided to retain him. He is eligible to go to meetings. He just cannot go onto the field until he is off IR.

The question is when is he able to come off. I cannot find that information and have not seen it presented though I am reading this godawful charter and tweeting various reporters.

The guy has played well in the NFL before and this club has had success with reclamation projects like this. Columbo is brought to mind as is Alonzo Spellman.

I have no illusions that he is going to be going to Hawaii but it is a position of need. I don't see how that is hard to get.

It helps us win ball games if he can contribute and that is all I care about.

There is no way we would use our only IR/Designated For Return designation on Brian Price. The only way he can play for us this season is if he reaches an injury settlement with us, then waits six games more than the number of weeks' pay in his settlement. Then he can sign with us and play, if we still want him.

So he can't go to camp? I thought before camp starts the rules were different about injuries?

For clarity, I had no expectations for him whatsoever.

Thanks for the info, looks like Price is done for the year. He probably has to have surgery on that shoulder, so we just shut him down for the year.


That's probably why nobody tried to claim him off waivers, the shoulder issue could scare some teams off.

So do players just automatically come off the IR once the season is over and revert to the 70+ roster or is a team able to actively move him off of it?

I have gotten conflicting reports.

How do you mean? I'm not sure I see why either one would matter. If a guy is under contract the following year, then he's on the roster. There is no maximum # of players till August (I think), so there'd be no need to even have an IR list till then unless you're sure the guy won't be playing anyway.

There is a roster limit even now. You cannot have 250 guys under contract. The limit is 90 during the offseason. They just upped it last year. If you are not amongst those 90 then you cannot participate in any OTA, minicamp or other on field activity.

It matters because determining how a player gets off the IR determines when he would be available.

I get that he likely won't be available but I have gotten different reports as to the rules of getting a player off the IR. It may even be that they are working an injury settlement out and will cut him in the end.

It's just been unclear to me as to what is what and I am trying to get the particulars.

Are you really asking why we should care if a guy is a Cowboy or not?

Dallas will be checking the waiver line towards end of preseason. Hopefully, they will be luckier than last year.

I expect they have an eye on Bill Nagy. If the Lions cut bait he may end up back here
