August 30, 20232 yr comment_1714402 Zac Taylor talked a little at his noon presser today about the new practice squad rules so I looked 'em up. Essentially teams can use 2 PS guys each week and only pay them a fraction of the minimum NFL salary Quote One of the main points of a practice squad is having a set of players you can call upon when you need them to fill in on their active roster. The NFL’s current CBA allows for up to two players in a given game week to be promoted to the active roster without giving the players a normal player contract. Normally, a player must be removed from the 53-man roster to make room for a practice squad promotion. Then, if the promoted player is sent back down to the practice squad, he has to clear waivers. That is not the case with these two players. Also, a single player can be activated from the practice squad thrice a season. If a team wants to activate that same player a fourth time, they must be added to the active roster. https://dknetwork.draftkings.com/nfl/23851497/nfl-practice-squad-rules-eligibility-salary-size-roster-cuts-covid-19-coronavirus-nflpa-nfl-cba It's a good deal for the teams but I'm surprised the players assoc went for it Report

The team might want to bump him onto the 53 soon if they plan on grooming him, before some suck ass squad steals him following an injury. We can protect up to 4 players from being swiped. I have to believe a QB they're grooming would be one of those guys Report

It basically gives you a 69 man roster (niceee), for the price of 53. Like you, I'm surprised the players union allowed it. Report

Then they go back to the lower PS rate for the weeks they aren't called up. Report
