    He told Demovsky the Packers want him on IR and try again next year.
    Why can't they IR him now?

    Not sure. But I suspect it has to do with being a UDFA and having less than minimum League contract currently. If he would have made the roster, whatever his money was from choosing GB as a UDFA would have been increased to the rookie minimum.

    There are probably rules in place to avoid keeping a player all year and not having a weekly paycheck.

    For instance:

    Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 1h
    OK, let's get this straight once and for all: Jets added WR Shaq Evans to injured reserve, not waived/injured. Apologies for confusion.

    was a fourth round pick and they sent him right to IR. It can be used the other way too. The TE the Giants lost to NE was waived in order to vacate his contract.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
