Guys signed to the PS

[Marguide]

Are you complaining? Keep the talent however you can and keep building for the future. It's nice to know Hurney is willing to bend the rules to do so. Nothing wrong with that.

Not complaining at all. Actually, I predicted Hurney would do this a couple of weeks ago, but I thought he would do it with someone on the D-line.

Like others said, as long as JR doesn't mind the money, it's a great way to keep players around.

It's going to cost Jerry a few million bucks to keep these IR guys around for another year. Rivera must think they all have the potential to actually make the 53 next year. At least they won't count against the cap.

Yes they do. And so do the PS players.

ALL payments to players count against the cap as of the start of the season.

[Gallagher]

I like our PS. We've got some solid depth. Superbowl.

I thought if they were waived/injured that it usually meant an injury settlement and they're no longer a part of the team? Just curious because I find it interesting if we still have them as members of the team, just on IR, because we could bring either of them back later in the season if so.

It's kind of like the situation with Jake Ballard when the Giants waived him injured and then the Patriots snagged him. He is subject to waivers to see if another team wants to pick him up, if they do pick him up then he takes a physical and all of that before he is put on IR or a member of the team. If no one does pick him up, then I think a settlement is reached to place him on IR as a member of the team, but at probably a lower cost. So there was risk waiving him injured because someone could grab him. But no one did. So he is still here on IR for next year.

[TheRed]

Smith and Bryant, I approve. Not sure how we managed to keep Poole too but i will take it.

JR created a 100k salaried position of Practice Field Goalpost Quality Control, and hired Poole on.

[vorbis]

so weird that they would stash butler on IR like that.

[JawnyBlaze]

Yes they do. And so do the PS players.

ALL payments to players count against the cap as of the start of the season.

I thought only the top 53 salaries counted against the cap?

Happy with the guys we got on the PS, would have loved to have kept Poole, but Smith made his case on the field too.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I liked that we placed Poole on IR. That way if someone signs Smith off of our practice squad, we will still have Poole. Even if he is on IR.

Too much legalese to read and too small font. I'll take your word for it, heh.
