When you claim someone off waivers, he immediately takes a roster spot, which is why the Colts cut someone. They have the same options we did, hold onto him until first cuts with him taking up one of the 90 roster spots, then put him on IR (which will free up his roster spot at that time), or try and get him through waivers to put him on IR now. I really cant see them putting him through waivers now, otherwise they probably wouldnt have claimed him. It looks like the Colts are holding onto him for next year and beyond.
