Demetri Goodson is Still a Packer. Why?

Michael Cohen has reported that Demetri Goodson is still a Green Bay Packer by virtue of an obscure provision of the CBA. Goodson played 6 games as a rookie, 14 games in 2015, and 9 games in 2016, thereby accruing 3 seasons. He suffered a catastrophic injury during the 2016 season. TT did not release Goodson after the 2016 season. He ended up on the PUP list for 2017.

Normally, under Article 9 of the CBA, a player earns an accrued season if he is on a full pay status for 6 games, and PUP is a full pay list.
