I can confirm this. I claimed a SP on waivers hoping to sneak him through waivers myself and assign him to AAA as depth. But I don't have the option to place him on waivers. He's in the DFA section. The only way I could place him on waivers was to put him on the 40 man roster, which I did not want to do in the first place.
I know its worked in the past. I'd do it all the time. Claim a guy with the intention of immediately passing him through waivers.
