​​​​​​As far as going to resign Orzech, what if someone claims him? I guess they're betting they won't as the were top bidder when he was a FA.

I thought CB Thomas had a chance due to STs. The rest I don't think we're close.


Edit: I think normally they would release someone and bring them back if they plan on putting someone on the 53 man roster list, but then put them on the IR before week 1.

So who's going to the IR? Doubs? Wicks? Goodson? Whom else is injured that they want to keep?

Stokes is on PUP, so he can stay there.

I believe Orzech has accumulated 4 seasons, so he does not have to clear waivers.
