After a bit more thought on this I came up with some speculation.
The biggest thing that Kubiak has been on about all off season in the 80 man roster limit. He has even modified the entire way that the team is approching TC and two a days because of it.
It appears that Spencer isnt fully recovered. His leg and knee may be, but the rest of his body is not there yet. If he had been kept it is possible that he would sit 2-3 more weeks continuing to rehab.
The odds of him getting picked up right now is pretty slim, 3-4 weeks he may have a better chance once he is in better condition and injuries have hit teams.
Would it not then be a prudent decision to waive him, keep a player that can take the reps and help keep some competition up, hope like hell no team grabs him, and possibly bring him back once he can be considered ready again? I know it is risky, but we are talking about a guy who has only taken a handfull of NFL snaps, had an extreme injury, and has been out of football for almsot 2 full years.
