Cowboys Practice Squad Thread

[ninja]

No surprise there.

Maybe Teddy Williams is the Cowboys' secret weapon at CB. Everyone thought he was practicing to be a WR, and then, bam, out comes Teddy Williams the CB.

And I'm fine with that.

It's too early to say "He won't ever be anything" and just give up. This is that point in his career where he can make that choice - be something, or walk away.

Glad we kept AOA also.
Not sure about Teddy Williams. Other than speed, what has he shown. Apparently something, but I don't know much about him, so won't judge the decision. But I would like to see Manny Johnson, he made some nice catches in preseason games.

Good to see AOA back

Dallas retains two of the best athletes on the squad but not two of the best Football Players. Williams was my dark horse going into camp.

He played CB last preseason. I actually thought he played pretty well there and was surprised when they converted him to WR. He actually seemed like a natural for someone who had never played the position before.

His size does work a bit against him at CB but he looked pretty good coming out of his backpedal to break on the ball.

If I remember correctly, he played WR in HS.

Welp. Maybe AOA can become a good special teams player in the future. The next Jesse Holley

Cowboys to sign WR Andre Holmes to practice squad. Rookie from Hillsdale was cut by Vikings. Came to Ranch on a pre-draft visit in April.

Interesting....so that makes how many now on the PS?

is Miller still eligible?

[chip_gilkey]

Does anyone else remember R2A's sig after we drafted AOA? It said he was going to have a "borderline HOF career with the cowboys"

I believe he is.

From SBNation.com's Brian McIntyre:

Eligibility for the practice squad is limited to players who do not have an accrued season in the NFL, or were on an active list (53-man roster) for fewer than nine games during their only accrued seasons. Players that have served two seasons on a practice squad are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment.

A player will be considered to have served on a practice squad in a season if he were a member of a practice squad for three regular or postseason games during his first two practice squad seasons, or for one regular season or postseason game during a third practice squad season.
The minimum weekly salary for practice squad players in 2011 (and 2012) is $5,700, an increase of $500 over the 2008-2010 rate. There is no limit to how much a team can pay a practice squad player. Several teams have enticed players with offers of increased pay, usually a few thousand dollars extra, to join or remain on their practice squad.
