No one has ever complained before when this happens, its just in vogue this year as TBay is the enemy.

I would prefer that IR rules are followed 100% even if it screws over a team's cap. If the player is healthy, that is all that should matter. If the team is worried about the player getting injured again in the remaining games, they can scratch the player to prevent them form playing. Not one said that because they are removed from the IR that they have to play.
