The short-term IR only applies to players with a "major injury" that is expected to keep them sidelined at least six weeks. [url="https://twitter.com/search/?src=hash&q=%23NYG"][s]#[/s][b]NYG[/b][/url][/background][/font][/color]

AFAIK, you don't even have to do that with Moch. He'll just go directly to the "Reserve/Suspended" designation. Then at 4 weeks, the team can ask and be granted a 1 or 2 week roster exemption for him where he can practice and attend meetings but not play. If they don't want to do that, they can just activate him from the "Reserve/Suspended" list as long as they have room for him on the 53 man roster or if they cut someone from the 53 man roster.

They'll do it with someone like Otis Hudson. Not necessarily Otis, but someone like that whom they think can sit for 4 days without being claimed. [b]Another possibility would be a veteran player like Donald Lee that doesn't have to pass through waivers - they can just sit out the weekend until Cook can be put on IR and then resigned afterwards.[/b]

That's what I would do, someone that you can tell what you're doing and you know he's going to stay.

And the Karate Kid knows all about that after the Cobra Khai Dojo All-Star swept the leg. That was a major injury, even after Miyagi-San worked his magic.

I don't believe so. Here's why:

ARTICLE 29
WAIVERS
Section 1. Release:
( a ) Whenever a player who has finished the season in which his fourth year of
credited service has been earned under the Bert Bell/Pete Rozelle Plan is placed on
waivers between February 1 and the trading deadline, his contract will be considered
terminated and the player will be completely free at any time thereafter to negotiate and
sign a Player Contract with any Club, and any Club shall be completely free to negotiate
and sign a Player Contract with such player, without penalty or restriction, including, but
not limited to, Draft Choice Compensation between Clubs or First Refusal Rights of any
kind, or any signing period. If the waivers occur after that time, the player’s Player Contract will be subject to the waiver system and may be awarded to a claiming Club.
However, if such player is claimed and awarded, he shall have the option to declare
himself an Unrestricted Free Agent at the end of the League Year in question if he has a
no-trade clause in his Player Contract. If such player does not have a no-trade clause and
the Player Contract being awarded through waivers covers more than one additional
season, the player shall have the right to declare himself an Unrestricted Free Agent as
set forth above at the end of the League Year following the League Year in which he is
waived and awarded.
( b )Whenever a player who has finished less than the season in which his fourth
year of credited service has been earned under the Bert Bell/Pete Rozelle Plan is placed
on waivers, the player’s Player Contract will be subject to the waiver system and may be
awarded to a claiming Club.
