Why? Nevermind he is from Michigan.........

That's will explain a lot, also anyone else perhaps defansman from Michigan that we going to trade for

Depth signing, don't mind it. There will be some injuries so regardless good to have for the time he will be with the organization. And if we end up losing him on waivers at some point its not the end of the world either. Could also potentially be someone we trade to a contender for a middle round pick.

He was on a PTO, if someone wanted him he would have been signed outright. We aren’t trading him for anything.

Huh. Interesting. I guess waiving Holl was just to give themselves flexibility over the next month, maybe buy some time.

I know a lot of you hate the 11 and 7 lineup, but buckle up, I think there's gonna be a lot of it.

Can Holl practice with the team if he isn't on the roster? If so, they should do the same with Husso. I know players practice with the team before they come off of IR/LTIR, but this seems like cap circumvention. Non-roster practice squad, lol.

Sounds like he's sticking with the team as one of the 23, but I think the deadline to submit rosters is later today, so at this moment, it doesn't matter if he's practicing or not. Sounds like they are going to send Watson down though.

Sounds to me like Holl is a "paper move" to sign Watson.
