16 total players
10 have to be rookies
6 can be anything, including vested veterans, players under 4 accrued seasons, and rookies alike…vested veterans make (30%?) more on the PS than non veterans…
4 can be protected every Monday, I believe they have to be designated weekly, last year we protected brandon faycson for a couple weeks and then promptly lost him to the raiders after opting to protect someone else based on injuries on the roster at that time…
every player on the practice squad is eligible to be called up TWICE a year to the active roster without being exposed to waivers on Monday…a third call up would require the player to go thru waivers before being added back to the practice squad…
players called up to the active roster for gameday receive a (60% ?) bump on salary for that week and the next two weeks as well, so a rookie making 10k a week on the PS makes 30k for that Sunday and then two weeks after that even after reverting back to the PS
I’m sure this isn’t all of it so please feel free to add or correct information…these are the so called Covid rules which apparently the NFL and the players union love so I think they’ve been renewed until 2023 league meetings…
NOTE: the NFL 53 man rosters add up to about 1,700 players, the practice squads alone add up to an additional 512…the NFL has a labor pool of about 30% the total number of “roster” players that make well below player minimum of 700k? These guys make 170k a year and outside of games they practice with the team so they do assume some risks in regards to injury…
It wasn’t possible before under the old rules were a guy had 3-4 years to make a roster before becoming ineligible for the practice squad…it’s concievable that somebody could spend 10-15 years on practice squads and never accrue a season towards retirement benefits, here’s looking at that WR, moore is it?
:lmao:
