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?Originally Posted by Teamcheez1

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
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.
A lot of tea leaf reading going on here. It's all speculation, of course.
But based on what TT has said (which he never tips his hand, so it's pointless to "translate" what he says) and what the agent has said (again, could have an ulterior motive), GB remains interested in Colt, but likely only if the next four months go well when Colt is independent.
I get the impression through the few agent tweets I read that both Colt and the agent are grateful for the Packers to take a chance on him, have a good relationship with the Packers, and both are more interested in getting Colt back to the Packers later than to another team.
Of course, it's all speculation, of course.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
