We don't have to declare our keepers until the end of July, however I can put him on a IR spot on my team which would free up another rosters spot. However our league rules are if you put a player on IR, then he automatically becomes your keeper. So I need an extra spot, just need to decide to IR him and have him as a keeper for next year or just let him go.
Sounds, like most here think he will be healthy for next season.
