I have some mixed feelings about this. I see the definite need to freshen up the waiver pool by removing dead wood and don't want to argue this point but I would like to stretch the meaning of "inactive" to also include drafted fighters who for whatever reason never made a roster. At least some interest was shown in these guys even though they may not have made a team's active roster due to cap issues. Invitited to training camp should count for something. This might be a little bit of a quibble but I think that guys who someone was interested in enough to spend a draft pick on should stick around in the pool a bit longer. The guys who have records are, for the most part, losers but there are a few potential gems or cap-savers still in the pool. I'd recommend the Bear's eyeball test on talent. Is a fighters total points scored three times his boxer rating? It's my quick and dirty measure on a fighter's productivity. I look at this before I consider level of compition as in the case of beginners, who have to experience their growing pains before they can be measured for production.
