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.
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?
