Once he clears waivers, there's no reason you can't release him immediately (guilt-free! ) by saying "No, do it now!"

As for Designated For Assignment, you should check out the DFA FAQ... I think it's pretty informative!
It's also a good idea, because you can possibly get another team to take a guy's salary off your hands.
