Been having trouble communicating because it wasn't reported Schum was waived/injured.
If Schum was waived/injured other teams can claim him if not, his contract reverts to GB in 24 hrs. This is what you are referring to and now I'm pretty sure this is what actually occurred.
GB now has 5 days to reach an injury settlement; if not Schum stays on IR until he passes a physical. Schum's motivation for reaching an agreement is that, he'll get a good chunk of his contract and when the settlement is reached he immediately becomes an UFA.
But, Schum cannot resign with GB until the time of the injury settlement has passed plus 3 weeks [used to be 6 weeks].

As you said, it seems to have been reported incorrectly somewhere along the line, which is adding communication troubles. But
I believe Schum waived/injured and his contract reverted back to GB after not being claimed and that's why he's back.
Yeah they're making a ton of rule changes... one other item you mentioned that players could go on the IR and then comeback via DTR spot (which there is now 2 of them?)...
First off, I still believe in an "All or None" system, where all the IRed players should be able to return after __ number of weeks or none of them.
Second off, I know it used to be (under the old rule) that players had to make the final 53 man roster to be eligibility for the DTR spots... has that changed? ... can a player go on the IR in the offseason and still have a DTR spot? I'm thinking no, but they're changed so many rules, so fast, that I haven't been able to keep up.
I think they have to go on the PUP list (or become a FA) if they're injured during the offseason and still might play during the season. So is the DTR just for players on the 53 man roster?
Last year the CB made the 53 man roster for one day, before they IRed him and then brought him back later on in the season.
