The season really needs to start soon. Joe Milton is generating long topics that go 10, 20, even 30 pages or more.

As this day has gone on I'm surprised he didn't get claimed, and now I'm surprised it is 9:00 pm CT, 6 hours after be cleared waivers and he hasn't signed to the PS, or sign with anyone's PS. I wonder what's going on? Are they going to sign him or does he not want to sign or is he just not good enough for anyone?

What's going on is that he can sign with Dallas, but he is thinking about it and what other offers he might have.

Well they want him to do that, but the question is will he.

well, apparently if he does sign with anyone, it will be on the practice squad. If that is the case, what practice squad would be better for him than Dallas?

So I guess more specifically if the Cowboys said they want him back then what's the hold up because 31 teams just passed on him. How many offers could he be thinking about? If someone wanted him it's a low contract waiver claim.

None in my opinion, but I'm not him. In Dallas he doesn't have to move and he keeps his coaches and teammates. He wouldn't have to start over with a new system with new coaches and teammates. That makes Dallas the favorite.

He could have several offers. No way for us to know.

No. Now anything he is being offered is practice squad. The waiver claims that would have put him on a roster have passed, so it's doubtful any team would want to put him on a roster when they could have just claimed him. I think questions about his ability to be consistent mean no one thinks he's worth more than a PS spot for now. Apparently, Dallas was right about that or at least by waiting they cleared out any teams that would have claimed him for a spot on their roster.

So I'm wondering why he hasn't been signed to our PS. Either he is butthurt about being cut or Dallas doesn't want him back. But Schotty said they do want him back so it seems like Joe is holding up the show. So he may be trying to decide between which PS he wants to be on, if there are any other offers.

I am surprised about this. Something feels off. For a guy who put up close to 400 yards, 3 TDs, and no TOs in the preseason is not even on a PS for any team. That's weird to me. Am I the only one who thinks it's weird he hasn't signed with any PS yet? It would be in his best interest to sign and get on a plane and get to the new city and get to work. This seems off to me

from what I read, practice squad players all make the same amount.

I never heard a single negative spoken about the guy in his time in Dallas.

Schottenheimer was very vocal about wanting to bring him back if no one claimed him if he wants to return but my guess is his agent is seeing what options are available out there first.

If he can get more money, more guaranteed money and/or a better shot at QB2 or higher eventually then it may be a better opportunity for him.

no matter where he goes, its not a ton different. He needs to go where he has the best opportunity to get a shot:

  • Standard Tier (0 to 2 Accrued Seasons)
    • Pay Structure: Fixed / Non-negotiable.
    • Pay Rate: Fixed weekly rate set strictly by the CBA.
    • Weekly Salary: $13,750 per week.
    • Season Total: $247,500 if held on the squad for the full 18-week regular season.
  • Veteran Tier (3+ Accrued Seasons)
    • Pay Structure: Negotiable within a Band.
    • Pay Rate: Teams can have up to 6 veterans on their 16-man practice squad, and their pay is negotiable within a set floor and ceiling.
    • Weekly Salary: $18,350 to $22,850 per week.
    • Season Total: $330,300 to $411,300 if kept for the full 18-week season. Teams will often offer the higher end of this range to entice experienced depth (like a backup quarterback or veteran pass rusher) to stay on their practice squad rather than signing elsewhere.

I think he's trying to pick his best option. If he only got an offer from us, I think he would have re-signed already. Must be at least one other team involved.

Agree, very interesting.

The CBA dictates the range for PS players, however a team can still sign the player to a contract that pays them a higher rate if/when they are elevated to the 53-roster during the season.

So a team could offer him a better roster contract than the Cowboys and it would be a better deal for him if he thought it would be elevated at some point.
