I think IR would be good for him. Give him a year to think about it, get himself healthy & develop a routine for stretching & workouts.

Anything I'm missing? I just don't see what the team stands to lose putting him on IR, assuming he meets the criteria by league rules.

If not IR, I say keep him before galloway.

I was with you until the last line. I don't see how there is any downside to putting him on IR, if his condition warrants it (I think the NFL requires some proof of physical injury, and his seems very unprovable).

But keep him before Galloway? that's crazy, Galloway:
a) is physically capable of playing!
b) was able to get separation from the Jets corners, so I think he will be ok against others in the league.
c) is a solid consistent, if not outstanding, receiver

If they don't IR Kelly, then the only spot he could take is Banks/Austin if they try to PS both of them (which I doubt) otherwise see ya!
