Exactly, so you just proved that injured players can be cut/released/waived, which you are also arguing against.
Which shows you don't quite have a full handle on what you are talking about... so I'll believe the professional at this point that the Packers probably have a good case to get most of the signing bonus back.

This is why GB had to concoct a reason to get Bennett off the team; that is nondisclosure. And that is why they will not recover the bonus. What "professional" said GB is going after the bonus?
A team can utilize the waiver wire to transfer this burden to a different willing team; but you cant cut an injured player. Schum =Exhibit A of this.
Maybe this corollary will help with further introspection on your part:
If it’s claimed that a person cannot walk thru a closed door and your counter retort is, “Yes he can, if its opened;” then you have not in any way rebutted the said claim.
