Pracfice Squad Signings

[KillerKat]

What makes a player eligible?

Generally, teams like to keep young players on the practice squad so they can develop without taking up spots on the active roster. Undrafted rookie free-agents are popular along with late-round draft picks. A player can be eligible if he does not have an accrued season in the NFL. To have an accrued season, you have to be active for at least six regular-season games.

A player can also go to the practice squad with an accrued season provided they were on the 45-man active roster for less than nine-regular season games.

In addition, a player is allowed on the practice squad for two years. If a player is on the practice squad for three weeks in a season, it is considered a year. Players are only allowed to be on a practice squad for a third year if their team keeps 53 players on the active-inactive list at all times. For a player on his third season with the practice squad, only one week is needed to count as a year.

Again, Lester was on the active roster 12 games last season.

All other practice squad rules under Article 33 of the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement will remain in effect during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

(Article 33: The Practice Squad shall consist of the following players, provided that they have not served more than two previous seasons on a Practice Squad: (i) players who do not have an Accrued Season of NFL experience; and (ii) free agent players who were on the Active List for fewer than nine regular season games during their only Accrued Season(s). An otherwise eligible player may be a Practice Squad player for a third season only if the Club by which he is employed that season has at least 53 players on its Active/Inactive List during the entire period of his employment.)

So 12 games means he isn't eligible.

According to Person since he only started 4 games he's egilible.

It doesn't matter how many he's started. It matters how many he's been active for.

Is it bad that I've never even heard of this guy. I guess it means he sucks or I suck (not literally for all you pervs on here)

I'm told WR Tavarres King will not be returning to #Panthers' practice squad. Could mean he was claimed. Will update.

[UNCrules2187]

Sounds like King was claimed per Person

[KillerKat]

King being claimed kinda pisses me off when I know we have other guys on our team that didn't look good in camp and/or preseason.
