You are correct. Thanks for the clarification. The keyword is "released" here. DJ can sign anywhere he chooses but does he want to play for NO with a backup QB?

I could see him staying closer to home, sign with the Raiders (Ruggs released) & catch passes from a gunslinger but what do I know.

Edit - NBC Sports use the language "released" but ESPN, NFL says "waived". If waived, he would have to clear waivers.

Which one is it?

On Tuesday before 5:00 EDT (trade deadline) it would have been released. After it is waived. Veterans with four years on the books, I believe, are not subject to waivers prior to the deadline.
