Daniel Ross to IR

[Shake_Tiller]

Per Gehlken, the new beat guy.

 

[DCBoysfan]

That’s a slick move.

 

[CATCH17]

That’s a slick move.

I guess everyone is doing it.

 

[SportsGuru80]

This is the time when teams store away guys...

 

[Zordon]

From a player perspective do they get paid the same whether they're active or on IR?

Yes they do get paid their normal salary however long they are IR.

If a team cuts a player before they are medically cleared to play. The team has to pay them an injury settlement. I’m not sure what injury settlement figures are.

Actually, I think many players have split contracts that specify a % of their contract they will get if they go on IR.

True. But that's a real jerk move by the team if you've got a guy who played for you in actual games.

It is fine for a UDFA but not someone who contributed.

Same pay if they stay on IR all year. The team has the option to cut them when healthy.

Cedrick Wilson got his scheduled pay for 2018 while on IR.

You could be right. I’m not really sure how it works, I just remember reading about a player going on IR within the last couple of years and it said he would still get half his contract. They called it a split contract. I don’t think it was a big name player so it very well could be something reserved for fringe players who aren’t expected to make the team.

How and when did he get injured?

Daniel Ross is not a guy they want to "stash" on IR.

He was on the 53 last season and was active for most games.

He averaged playing about 20 snaps per game in 2018.

He is not a developmental type player at this point.

 

[xwalker]

True. But that's a real jerk move by the team if you've got a guy who played for you in actual games.

I think that is only for players that were injured when signed.

 

[exciter]

How and when did he get injured?

Last game, shoulder I think, it was reported 2 days ago that he would probably be IRed!

As long as he is not playing in the games. Ross is not good.

You sure that's a rule or just how we operate. People trash the Joneses but they do prioritize treating players well and not nickel and diming them

If he was he wouldn't be a backup... didn't he cause the goal line fumble in the Saints or was it another game last year!

He made an occasional play but was terrible against the run in general.

Hmmm... he backed up woods on every 1/3 series or so last year, I dont really remember their being that noticeable a difference when he was in. If he so bad against the run, then why insert him in the heavy goal line defenses?

Per Gehlken, the new beat guy.

Holy wow!! Talk about disappointing. He was a solid rotation guy. That's a blow. Looks like Hill better speed it up.
