Considering how not valuable they are likely considered it's gonna be IR.
So now we're gonna open the year with an IR list that probably looks like this.
Henne
Speaks
Kemp
Lovett
Dieter
Reaser
And it's questionable if Yelder goes there.

Reaser's on a 1-yr deal with no chance to return this season; no reason to IR him at all. Dieter is also on a 1-yr deal with little/no value to this team right now and extremely long odds to be picked up by anyone.
You keep Reaser and Dieter on the IR, you're burning $1.15 million or so in cap space to do it - why? Just cut both of them. You should probably consider cutting Henne as well; you could save $1.5 million of his base salary doing that.
Kemp and Lovett have genuine 'stash' value so they're worth the headache, but people forget that if you IR a dude you gotta
pay him like an NFL player. Cut some of that dead weight.
