Can someone enlighten me with the background of the "uncarded" provision? I have always assumed that Uncarded players are established players who miss an entire season due to injury. If a coach wants this player back even though they won't play, he pays the contracted salary and tucks the player away on IR. This season's example would be DeShaun Watson, who should be uncarded this year, right??
You are correct and understand the current rule perfectly.
