The reserve/military list is used for any player who is actively involved with the Armed Forces, and therefore cannot play out his NFL contract. The contract is essentially tolled, as the player is not paid and does not count against a team’s roster limit. The team can then activate the player and, if it chooses, expect him to play out the terms of the contract at whatever time he completes his military commitments.

So essentially we have his rights until his commitments are fulfilled AND he doesn’t take up a spot and we don’t pay him?

If I’m interpreting correctly that doesn’t sound like a bad deal at all.
