Cant cut an injured player. If it is deemed he would be gone for the year anyway, there is no injury settlement to be had so they would have to pay his full salary this year anyways. Cutting him would accelerate any remaining signing bonus applied to next year up to this year. Only thing I can think of if they really dont want him anymore.
