This. Nobody is holding a roster spot for a 6th round pick that has questionable immediate value and few teams are going to try to poach that guy.They have to waive him in order to put him on the restricted list. It's just a roster move. When he clears waivers he'll likely stay on the Vikings and then when he's ready to participate they can take him off the restricted list.
Maybe he'll apply for a job at the new Sheetz that is coming to Oakland.First shot, then cut… What next? Bruised?
Regardless, Zelda will still be pissed that he opted out.Procedural move per NFL writer
Waiving Twyman with an NFI designation is just a procedural move. Theoretically another team could claim him, but that's highly unlikely for a 6th-round rookie who's not yet fully healthy for NFL activity. I expect the Vikings will activate him as soon as he's back to 100%.
Scarred. Chicks dig that.First shot, then cut… What next? Bruised?
I would try to claim him. He has high upside.
The problem is that if you claim him you are in the same boat that the Vikings are in. If he's not ready to play and you want to put him on the NFI list you have to waive him first. And if you don't then he takes up a roster spot.
He protected his interest by reporting to camp. The Vikings protected their interest by waiving him. They have a mutual interest in his full recovery. He's closer to being physically ready for the NFL than I am, but he's not yet all the way there..I don't know about any of that stuff. But I suspect he is fine and good enough to take a roster spot.

Oddly enough, the people who are actually in a position to know don't seem to agree with you.
bruised and then boo boo and finally stronger than ever...First shot, then cut… What next? Bruised?
