Yes. That could plausibly happen, but what is more likely is that we resign one of the veterans we let go after week one so we would only be obligated to paying them week by week. A veteran on the roster as of week one is guaranteed their whole year's salary whether they are on the roster or not.

Idk, I think it might give an average veteran player more incentive to not sign with another team and be the 54th man they yo-yo on and off the roster.

That makes it worse for not keeping Ozigbo and playing that game with number 27. I don't think anyone would have picked him up.
