If no one claims Chase off waivers, I suspect we'll re-sign him and place him on season ending IR

I suspect we'll see a massive ripple effect throughout the Las Vegas Superbowl prediction community.

That is what the Redskins twitter suggested too.

@Redskins: In a corresponding move #Redskins waive CB Chase Minnifield, who will automatically revert to the team's Injured Reserve if not claimed.[/quote]

Here is the quote, you definitely called it.

Chase Minnefield is talented. I wouldn't be surprised if GMs around the NFL are already setting their sights on him.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

How long will he be on waivers?

Oh the actual Redskins. Got ya.

Well, it was the only logical explanation for waiving him after placing him on the PUP.

Could backfire on them though

Personal Umbrella Policy?

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

This sucks, he was going to be my first pic in Fantasy Football.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

I thought he was looking great in camp. Am I totally off-base here? I get he wasn't fully healthy but was expected to be pretty much back by the start of the season.

Perhaps they know they won't have room for him and trying to make the move now.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Please no one claim him...

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

He had a set back in recent weeks and wouldn't be able to play this year. We'll see if this is a Malcolm Kelly situation

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Damn, hope he gets healthy

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

[quote=Lotus;926313]Please no one claim him...[/quote]

Jake Ballard comes to mind.

Redskins secondary still hanging by a thread or two.

Agreed! For emotional and username reasons.

Precisely what I was thinking.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Damn. Hopefully (crossing my fingers) he gets re-signed and put on IR. If the patriots pick him up I will officially hate them the most of any team in the NFL.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Maybe Trent or the other young corners are looking better. Sometimes cutting a player is always for the best. It was an injury that caused Minnefield to go undrafted in the first place. If this is injury related then the coaches have to be fair to the other players that are competing for a spot on the roster.

Finished reading about his situation. This post sums it up.

At least Minnifield didn't cost us a 2nd rd pick

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Thanks for the news Mattyk.

C'mon Bruce, we need more secondary prospects! :eek:

If Vinny Cerratto was still in charge of player personnel, that would have been the case.

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;926369]If Vinny Cerratto was still in charge of player personnel, that would have been the case.[/quote]Remembering when Phillip Daniels went down, and Vinny stupidly traded a 2nd and change for Jason Taylor... yeah Vinny would definitely spend a 2nd on a replacement for Chase. :doh:

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

If he wasn't drafted due to injury issues and is already to hurt to play this year I would be surprised if another team comes in to snag him.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

This seems like a pretty good time to try to get him through waivers. No one who is at the 90 man roster limit is going to want to cut anyone right now.

There are a number of teams who have unused roster space that could be threats.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

I'm just glad Minnefield wasn't selected by the Redskins in the draft. If not for that injury, he would have been drafted. But obviously the man is still hurt. If he clears waivers then that would be good news.

Something i dont get with Ballard, or Minnifield if the same thing happens, is doesnt the claiming team have to carry the player against a roster spot? I get that its no big deal right now because 90 players are allowed but at some point doesnt the player cost against the 53 man roster or dosnt the claiming team have to waive the player, exposing the player to be claimed, before adding him to their own IR?

Is the whole purpose of waiving a player before adding him to IR just to restructure his contract first? Could Chase have been added to IR without being exposed to waivers?

Smootsmack, speak up on this because I am sure you know the answer, but by resigning Minnifield just to put him on the IR means that the Skins will pay him something for the right to be first in line next year to have him on thier team?

UDFA vs. 2nd-round pick though.


Shame, I had high hopes for this kid. Hope he comes in next year and makes the team.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Well I meant MK situation in terms of can his knee ever be healthy

And IR will give us first rights to him in 2013. Had to waive him first though or he would have counted against the 90 man preseason roster.

I have never understood why there is such a cap for a preseason roster. I know having too many in camp is a problem but why the cap?

Might be to keep teams from hoarding players, just for the reason to keep other teams from getting them in camp. I'm sure there are teams out there that will put 150-200 players, if not more, on their preseason roster just to do this.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

So did Minnifield get claimed today or did he clear waivers?

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

but what about the cult of chase? oh noes!

Cowboys picked him up....nah, just playing. He cleared

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Somebody should be able to make coaches take notice in training camp. Something tells me that CB Morgan Trent will be a pleasant surprise.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

I'm happy that no one decided to chase Minnifield and he remains with us.

Re: Chase Minnifield Waived
 

Minnifield is probably viewed as an injury prone player. That's not a good reputation for a rookie to have before he even plays in a NFL game. That's why none of the other teams viewed him as a reliable option.
