It doesn't sound very likely, especially in light of how he will likely end back on the Jets roster.  Interesting discussion, though.  

Teams waive injured players.  No one is going to pick up the salary of a player who can't play. After that they revert to that teams injured reserve.  So essentially he is just on the Jets IR, the waive was a formality.
