Practice Squad Signings

Presumably Bersin is one of our two exceptions on the PS.  He has a full accrued NFL season last year, playing in 15 regular season games and the post-season.

Fug yes!!

 

I don't know what I was going to do without those Cox puns.

I can PM you the link once it's out.  That way even if it's too late in your time zone, you'll have a way to find it easily.

The fact that we've signed him means he wasn't claimed.  But, I believe any player on a team's practice squad can be signed by other teams during the season.  That's how we got Remmers I believe.

Here's an article in today's WashPost about how the PS works:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/football-insider/wp/2015/09/06/a-refresher-on-how-nfl-practice-squads-work/

As a refresher, here are the rules regarding practice squad eligibility:

• Rookies or first-year players are eligible for the practice squad. Any player that has been on an active roster for fewer than six games, or on the 46-man game day roster for fewer than nine games are eligible as well. Each team is allowed to sign two practice squad players that have one accrued NFL season, but fewer than two.
• Practice squad players have full access to the facility and attend all meetings and practice sessions with their NFL team, but they are not allowed to dress for games or travel to road games.
• Teams can cut practice squad players and sign others to take their place at any time.
• An opposing team cannot sign another team’s practice squad player to their own practice squad. They can only sign another team’s practice squad player to their 53-man roster.
• Practice squad players earn a minimum of $6,300 per week in regular season, which translates to $107,100 for a 17-week season, if they remain on the practice squad for that amount of time.
• A team can promote a practice squad player to fill a hole on the 53-man roster, but they would then have to work out a new contract with them.

I don't see it here, but is there a "right of first refusal" when it comes to PS players?

What I mean is if another team wants to sign one of your PS players, can you cut them off if you promote them to your 53?  Or does the player get to choose between the teams in a case like that?

As I understand it, fully up to the player.

There have been cases of guys declining an offer to join another team's regular roster, but it's extremely rare.

Nothing official, but teams have been known to promote players to the 53 or give them raises in order to keep them.
