New practice squad rules

[gjkoeppen]

Do PS players count against the cap?

No but if or when they are activated then they do and if that player puts the team over the cap the team has until 3:00 pm to be under the cap.

Thanks for the explanation. I knew they were expanding to 12. And then it was increased to 16.
Dallas and I think 3 or 5 other teams get an exception of an extra PS player also. Theses players are from Mexico, so Alcorn will be 17.

Good to know, as I did not know, about 6 can have accumulated NFL seasons. This could be players like Goodwin, may be kept if not calmed from waivers, if he does not make the 53.
Others, Joe Jackson, March if he is beat out by Bernard. Same for Noah Brown if he does not make the 53, and is not claimed or Wilson, Smith, Bryant, any of the WR's that would be #6 or #7 on the depth chart.

I googled about teams getting exceptions to the to have an extra player on the practice squad and no matter how I worded it the only thing that game up stating this is your comment starting this.

So maybe you can give us a link where the NFL actually said this. I find it extremely unlikely the league would give a handful of teams an extra player and a distinct advantage over the other teams.

Hera ya go...
I would think it has approval of all the owners to do this.

Edit...the article says it was a random draw that the NFCE got the extra player. So all was on board.

If you read it you would have seen that they can be put on an INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE SQUAD and unlike the regular practice squad players, they CAN NOT be activated at any time during the 2020 season. What it is, is a means to control those international players for possible making the team next year. They did the same thing last season and those players on those teams were protected so those teams could bring them to camp this season and try to make the team. You read practice squad and thought it was the regular practice squad and it's not. This year they used the NFC East last year they used the AFC East.

You think East Thomas would take a practice quad position?

 

[reddyuta]

Do they still have to cut a guy and let him clear waivers to assign him to the practice squad or can they simply move him directly?

I am pretty sure thats right,players may even be poached before 4 of them can be designated as protected each week.

Being able to protect a PS player is ideal to develop a QB like The Nooch.

That one protected player on the practice squad really isn't on the regular practice squad but a special international practice squad.and the player has to be from another country. DiNucci was born in Atlanta.
