That was my first thought about it yesterday. But being on NFI doesn't prevent him from being able to be inside Colts facilities. He could just say "no" and hang around the team being a disruption. It just kicks the can down the road and makes him angrier. You can't waive a player if they have 4 years of NFL service. He only has 3, so he can still be waived. That's why I chose that option over NFI. I agree 100% with you. But if it's completely toxic and beyond saving, I'd waive him and just eat the loss. Better that than potentially destroy the locker room. It's a mess any way we look at it.
