Thoughts about Cowboys signing practice squad players

[TheHerd]

You can cut the player after one week, but must pay them 3 weeks.

I also just read your can't sign your next opponent's ps players within 5 days (9 if a bye). Never knew that, but makes sense since game plans would be out.

If a club signs other clubs PS players do they not have to be used on the main starting roster? I don't believe they can just be poached for the Cowboys PS??

Yes, they have to be put on ths 53.

They just put their own PS guy Ash on the 53 so they could have offered that spot to any of 320 PS players.

Yes, 3 weeks pay.

PS players normally get paid about 110K per year.

Three weeks of 53 man roster pay is about 80K.

For this year, i say have at it. whats the worst that happens? you find a gem or two? Let Garrett sign up a few and see what they can do, we always say let the young guys have a chance. so heres a chance. let the practice squads get a bit excited to see a chance come up. Frankly its a death sentence to many. Id rather see some excitement happen for them.

I'm surprised the Cowboys don't sign more players from other team's practice squads.

There are 320 total practice squad players.

Was the Cowboys own PS player DT Ash really the best of 320 players?

Obviously having time in this scheme gives Ash an advantage but it just seems that the probability that the best player is 1 of your own 10 instead of 1 of 320 is unlikely.

They did sign Irving from another PS but it seems like a rare occurrance.

Guys are usually on practice squads for a reason.

Poached like an EGG !!! Yeah they have to be on the other teams roster

Three weeks of 53 man roster pay is about 80K.

Does that same rule apply for someone you call up from your own practice squad?

Nice gig to even get called up a few times in a career if you live frugally. I bet I'm in the minority on here since I've learned this board is full of ex-lawyers, ex-doctors, ex-world class athletes, ex-mensa members, and current 1 percenters, but a few 80k checks would make a difference in my life!

Exactomundo sir. Remember that running back people were in love with last year, then he went from our practice squad to the Browns. Darius something was his name
