Roosters put in a claim

CLAIM awarded to Red Roosters

Clay goes straight to IR since he hasn't finished serving the minimum 4 weeks since the Preds placed him on IR.

I'm not 100% on the text in red. While I think that's how things should be done, I honestly can't recall how the league has handled these rare waiver claim situations in the past. Does anyone have recollection?

FWIW, the written rules seam ti support the 4 week minimum regardless:

10. Injured Reserve

Each team has a maximum of two (2) injured reserve slots. For a player to be put on IR he must be listed as Questionable, Doubtful or Out on any NFL.com weekly injury reports. Suspended players are NOT eligible for the IR. Any player placed on IR must remain on IR for a minimum of 4 weeks. By the start of the next rookie draft, each franchise must clear IR and have no more than sixteen players on their roster. Once a player is placed on IR, the club can pick up another player but they must go through the free agent channel as with any other pick up.

When a player is placed on IR, 50% of their salary will count against your cap (either active or DS, depending where the player was before the IR move), teams will also receive 1 temporary "contract year". This temporary year may be used at the discretion of the team for signing a replacement, etc. As soon as the injured player is removed from IR, the temporary year is revoked and the team must immediately return its roster to a total of 36 contract years.

The 1st available date will be a flexible date each year that basically commences the day after the 3rd pre-season games end (4th for the few teams that play 5). This will be approximately 7-10 days before the NFL regular season kicks off.

It's cool with me as I want him on IR

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

Agreed. Players must serve their minimum of 4 weeks on IR, even if traded... or cut/claimed.

[Burt the Butcher]

I think we had this in SAC'd, and he had to serve the 4 week minimum

[Preds]

OK I think we're all in agreement!

Copy....

[chasmvp19]

I have not seen an ACTIVATE or REMOVE from IR from Rick...

This player was still on injury report for week 10 so he will be given the additional 2 weeks on IR which will be weeks 10 and 11....not sure what Rick wanted here, but there is no penalty due to the fact he is not on NFL IR right now...Clay will be eligible to come off IR in week 12...

Thanks Chuck!

[chasmvp19]

No prob...some of these little things slip through the cracks....I just hate when a fine is imposed...

Thanks!

Needs to be a separate thread for all moves.
