I went through the thread at the time as well as the stories and this possibility was dismissed by everyone. He would have been on waivers pretty much automatically without a match.
As for when the story broke, versus the league comments, I really don’t think it’s relevant. The league wouldn’t have nosed in before the match.
Anyway Feaster’s comments pretty much are an admission that he never checked with the league before making the offer, and they also contain the falsehood that the agent was well aware of the issue and they’d discussed it. The argument is so think and narrow that it’s clear to me that they only thought of it afterwards. No reasonable person would have rolled the dice that way.
