Unless he is complete garbage and worse than Jeff Wilson upon his return, he won't be cut. Dead cap hit of $6 million is higher than cap hit of $5.75 million if kept. As long as he has some value he will be on the team.
I think he'll have a lot of value.

Why IR him when the team can placed him on the Regular-season PUP list, which he can then return in week 7. Am I missing something?
He can stay on the PUP list through the preseason, before any decision has to be made. No need to do anything right now.

My p
We aren't talking about what needs to be done right now. The assumption behind our talk was if he isn't healthy by the start of the season.

Apparently, that knee is swelling up on him. Very unfortunate as I thought he'd be cleared for TC.

LeVeon is overrated and would have cost way more than Jet, I'd rather have Jet and Coleman. Prior to 2018 Jet didn't have any injury issues.

If he's not cleared sometime next week, he's probably going straight to I.R.

Yeah unfortunately jed is too f'n cheap to purchase that new fortune teller device. F'n idiot woulda known mckinnon was gonna tear his acl in a non contact practice right before week 1.
Relax - All I'm saying if somehow would've missed out on Jet last year then really great chance Bell would be a niner now.
No one to blame just how the cards played out.

It's no loss as far as I'm concerned. I don't want to see him flame out but he hasn't played for us so we really won't miss him. I know Kyle likes him but we still have other backs as good or better.
