So really, there's also no IR for the TS squad... if you put a TS player on the IR, you're in effect promoting him to active, contract wise, correct?

Burt asked me about the IR and TS issue, and honestly, I can't recall if a precedent was ever set or not, however, I do recall TS players being IR eligible.
The way I recall the IR being used for the TS is to place an injured TS player on IR, and thus opening up a spot to demote a TS eligible active roster player back to the TS and in effect opening up an active roster slot. I don't recall the 24 hour IR window at the end of the off-season being used to effectively add a TS member to a roster for an entire season as you were looking to do. That said, who knows, I may have tried that myself a few years ago, and probably did!
