Leftwich Waves Goodbye
November 24th, 2009
A mysterious elbow injury has ended Byron Leftwich’s season. He’s been placed on injured reserve.
Joe’s just bumbed out the NFL isn’t like Major League Baseball. If it were, the Bucs no doubt could have traded Leftwich to the Steelers yesterday for a quality draft pick (although the Glazers might have asked for cash), and Joe suspects Leftwich would magically be healthy.
In conjunction with Leftwich going on IR, the Bucs have signed undrafted rookie quarterback Rudy Carpenter, who played at Arizona State University.
It’s moments like these that has Chucky itching to get back into coaching.

The trade deadline is over otherwise I’m sure they would have.

Hey Joe maybe you can help me out.
When Byron is placed on IR does he collect the remainder of his contract pay?

It’s Likely his wave was slow and took a while to deliver as well.
