I could see a creative team cycling IR's like the Giants cycle their defensive linemen. (heck, maybe the giants would combine the fake fall with the IR cycling ... hmmm)

Yeah, they're blatant cheaters so I could see that.

Instead of a whole-season IR, I'd like to see a 4-game, an 8-game and an all-year IR choice.

Even just half and whole season would work.

i like it, pick 1 date during mid-season, if you place a player on ir before then, he's eligible on that date, if you place him on ir after that date, he's done for the season. limit the number of spots to 2 or something, the rest have to go on standard, season-long ir
