Re: Any Interest in Ben Ijalana?
No brainer. Grab him. Our future OL is mostly a bunch of old men and question marks.

If he clears waivers the Colts get to IR him. This would have to be a waiver claim like the one the Pats used for Jake Ballard.

Also, http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...cut-jeff-otah/ Jeff Otah was cut, similar reasons, back and knee injuries. Once healthy, he is a good run blocking RT
Re: Any Interest in Ben Ijalana?
But if we claim him off waivers, and then we go to put him on IR for the season, why won't we risk losing him the same way Indy is? Won't we have to do the same thing Indy did?

My understanding is that a waived/injured player comes off the 90 man roster. A player who is simply IR'd remains on the 90 man roster until final cuts. I could be wrong on that.

Thanks GOTA but why arent they just IR'ing him themselves then? i have to be missing something because its just not making sense to me.

So a guy who has had two season ending injuries, in his only two years in the NFL, is not a question mark? ... Bc
Re: Any Interest in Ben Ijalana?
I really, really liked this guy coming out of college, and it's a shame about how his career has gone thus far. I'd definitely love to see him in purple after a season recovering from his injury, the dude has serious talent and athletic ability.
Re: Any Interest in Ben Ijalana?
Anybody have an update on this?

The update is that the Colts did waive him yesterday. I'm not sure how much time it takes to clear waivers but we should know soon.
