The way I understand it is that he is under contract because otherwise the team would have taken a big hit the salary cap. If they just cut him and canceled the contract his salary would count towards the salary cap and eat up money they could spend on other players. By leaving him under contract but putting him on the unable to play list (or something like that) I believe they end up not having to pay him, but his salary doesn't count against the cap.
