Still not liking the Jones pick, but it looks like he may prove me wrong so far.

I thought Tiller was going to IR? He must really suck if we aren't even going to keep him at the facility.

He prolly will Scott. I'm reading that in order to IR a player in pre-season, he has to clear waivers first.

Its probably a new CBA rule to prevent teams from stashing everyone on IR if they get a hangnail in training camp.

You are probably right-- I tried to find the rules before I posted that, but didn't spend that much time on it. I did see that his salary was/is $2.1m over 4 years, so that wouldn't be the issue.
