I'm sure he was never a rocket surgeon to begin with but getting one of the greatest highlight reel catches of all time during his rookie year fucking ruined him.

All hail the Saints?
Note that there's a difference between 4-game minimum IR and season-ending IR, and it sounds like both of them are on boomerang.
Speaking of which, note that some orgs (like the Packers) have kept clearly-done-for-the-season players off the IR until three games are on the books so those players get a 'credited' season for minimum salary and pension purposes. (Though even there there's a caveat where players have to be on the roster for six games for an 'accrued' season for free agency eligibility at the beginning of their career.)
