Well then RT @TomPelissero #Packers waived Colt Lyerla with an injury settlement after all.
Maybe he isn't done.

Reasoning for #Packers waiving Lyerla: if they IR'd him, that'd mean another full year without playing football. This way he has a chance.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
But this means not until Week 7 for the Packers, right? IF they still want him.Originally Posted by pbmax
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
Just the same as getting PUP'd but without the practice window.
I'm a little confused about what this means, and why the Packers would do it this way. It could mean, of course, that they are done with him.
What's the advantage of an injury settlement? Should be less money than a full year's salary, and they can re-sign him after a period of time, saving the 'designated for return' tag.
Am I getting this right?

Maybe he gets pee essed.
It sounds to me like they are done with Lyerla. He can't return to the team until 6 weeks after the injury settlement, which would be Week 14. However he can sign with any team or practice squad after Week 8 besides us.
If we really wanted him, I believe we would have kept him on IR. It's always possible he didn't want to be on IR and requested the settlement.
Does signing an injury settlement automatically mean out until week 8?

We gave him an 8 week injury settlement. 8 weeks plus the 6 weeks equals 14 weeks for the Packers. Any other team may sign him after the 8 weeks.
I think we will still be paying him for 8 more weeks. If we put him on permanent IR he couldn't play this season but because he is injured they just can't just cut him outright, right? If this is what the thinking is they may have decided he should be playing/practicing instead of sitting in meetings. Now in a few weeks we could add him to the PS so he can get the coaching he desperately needs. Or maybe another team will sign him once his knee heals. IMO Ted and company thought this was the best thing for the player. Kudos.
He was the 7th TE on the depth chart. It's business, not personal.

On Tuesday, the Packers placed the following six players on injured reserve:
WR Jared Abbrederis (knee),
G/T Don Barclay (knee)
RB Rajion Neal (knee)
DL B.J. Raji (biceps)
LB Joe Thomas (knee)
G Andrew Tiller (calf).
We are now at 75 players.
Lyerla is done in GB methinks. It was probably Lyerla that wanted out. He probably just really wants to try and play this year.
Bummer about Rajion Neal. I was hoping to see him as one of the annual surprise undrafted FAs.
Six to IR. I wonder what the league average (to IR) is?
Thomas and Neal are definite stashes. Have to think Tiller, too.
Most of the practice squad comes from other teams.
Or maybe not. But a lot do.
Maybe. But they could be released after reaching an injury settlement. I think Neal stays though.

My 2 cents are going up like yahoo in the 90's.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

Matt Flynn takes the first offensive snap at practice, looks like he gets the start vs Kansas City.
