Breaking down the rules and eligibility for NFL practice squads
One of the most important parts of any NFL team is the practice squad. On Sunday all 32 teams cut their rosters down from 90 to 53 putting 1,184 players out of work. But for 320 of those guys, their dreams of playing in the NFL doesn’t end. For these guys, the practice squad is still out there.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the practice squad and how it works.
Every practice squad consists of 10 players. They can be comprised of players the team has recently released or any of the rest of the pool of available guys. But not just any player who is cut can qualify.
Most of the members of a practice squad will be rookies or undrafted free agents. The NFL only allows each team to carry four veterans on their practice squad with more than two accrued seasons. An accrued season is defined as six games on the active roster in a given season............

THis is not an awe-inspiring list:

RB Trey Edmunds
WR Tevin Jones
OL Patrick Morris
OL Derwin Gray
TE Kevin Rader
TE Christian Scotland-Williamson
DL Henry Mondeaux
LB Robert Spillane
S Marcus Allen
CB Trevon Mathis
They have one spot still open.
I like Spillane and Allen. Also don’t mind Jones but if they let Holton go and kept Jones, I think that’s a bad move. Not sure if he was added somewhere else though...Quote:

Derwin Gray and/or Patrick Morris could find themselves on the 53 next year with the departure of BJ Finney.Quote:

Hodges will end up being an All-Pro future Hall of Famer with another team :bananalama:Quote:

Mainly because I'm not an a^%hole and I understand that they are trying to accomplish something, but also because they're not actually part of our depth chart and they provide a valuable service for our team.Quote:

Did you see the build of Hodges ? Not sure he has a bouncer build and maybe Ryan Leaf can get away with that. Hodges looks like he is more suited selling Avon if he can't make it in the NFL.Quote:

His goal will be the XFL for next years.Quote:
