[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 785037"] Right. IR is not an indication of an intent to keep a player. A team cannot just cut an injured player. Based on the following link, a player can even decline to settle: [URL]https://www.nationalfootballpost.com/what-is-an-injury-settlement/[/URL] "If a player, usually upon the advice of his agent, doesn’t want to do an injury settlement, it’s the team’s obligation to rehab and give him medical treatment. Once the team and the team’s physician deem the player healthy enough to return to the field, the team will release the player from the injured list. If the player feels he is still injured, he has the right to file an injury grievance against the team. An independent arbitrator (as spelled out in the CBA) will hear the grievance." It would be an uncomfortable situation to be rehabbing at team facilities with team staff when the player knows the team does not want him there. However, if the agent feels the settlement offer is a low ball or that the player would not have interest elsewhere upon recovery, he may advise to drag the thing out as long as possible. So, regardless of a team's intent, it can be a drawn out process. I would not exempt Rollins from injury settlement consideration. He was on the bubble anyway. I'd say Murphy would be a candidate for settlement were it not for McCarthy's Spriggs/Murphy mild vote of confidence a couple weeks ago. [/QUOTE]
