Looks that way. Must they dress him for this charade? Is this some sort of legal cover: So they can say in court someday, "Just because he did not play doesn't mean we didn't intend to play him. See, we dressed him every game. We don't owe him a penny more"
By him being dressed he collects an 150k each game.
I suspect he is dressed for each game more for PR and the possibility of trading than anything else. If he was not dressed there is no chance that another team would trade. Being dressed there is at least a small possibility.

but you guys want to keep the conspiracy alive
That is one of the risks the team was taking. But he would only play if Gabbert got hurt and even then they could play with mostly handoffs and plays that minimize risk. He was the backup to give at least some chance of doing a trade prior to the trade deadline. Half expect them to trade him even if the health clause gets removed. Depends if York thinks that the fans would lynch him or not.
Look at how fast they went to the needs to renegotiate injury clause to start comments. If that wasn't a major part of why he was not playing then why oh why is that a must get completed before he starts priority now.
