Doesnt make sense to me????
Because I think the organization is really high on him. That was the talk coming out of OTAs and early in camp. Injuries didn't allow us to see what they apparently saw...

my guess is they couldn't come to terms on a cheaper injury settlement for release.

We didn't keep Kasper because of a bothersome release contract. We kept him because of his great potential and high hopes on him during TC. He would've been giving Wilson a run for his money fighting for a spot on the team. Instead he gets injured and placed on IR.
Honestly, I think this is good news, not bad. He's not eating up a roster spot and we get to keep his talent around.

If he looked like the second coming of "Wes Welker" as they kept saying on STO Training Camp Daily, then fine...
If he was going to be giving Wilson a run for his money for a spot on the team? No thanks...Wilson is no Wes Welker.
JJ isn't going to play this year guys, I'm telling you that right now. 4 knee surgeries since the end of last season...I know we don't have to think back that to remember the last local guy we signed that had a similar situation and how that played out.
How does the IR work? Could Kasper be eligible at all to play this season? If so, I'd think they kept him because we have zero depth at WR.

Kasper can't play this season at all. If someone is placed on IR in the preseason they are automatically ineligible to play that season. If a player is placed on IR during the regular season I think they can come back after 4 games. Its basically a away to keep an injured player on your team without wasting a roster spot. Now I bet Steptoe becomes #3, or even Cribbs?

If Steptoe has one more good showing, then he will have earned his place with our beloved team. i will look forward to see more ST pay during the season & could prove to very wewll be our #3. Welcome aboard!
