Just came to agreement, or i just saw it i should say.. each team can activate 1 player off IR during the season.. such as that we can activate Brandon Hogan at some point during the season if he can get healthy, or the steelers can activate Decastro.

i think this is a great rule, and could help us and other teams out throughout the season. I guess we could see Hogan this season after all

Hmmm, I hadn't heard this. This may be a good rule.

[Dxterity]

Still a bum.

No, we cannot activate Hogan. Rule only applies to players that are placed on IR after 4:00 PM on Tuesday, September 4th. We obviously already placed Hogan on IR before then.

Another example of the bitchy Steelers whining about something and Goodell giving in.


Some moron on the PFT (surprise!) said it's like the 60 day DL in baseball. Uh, no it's not. Apples to oranges.

Wrong again. This had been in the works for months, way before DeCastro got injured.

Where do you people come up with this bullshit?

I wish the NFL rule was more like MLB. 30 day IR or 60 day IR or 4 games or 8 games or whatever. With the salary cap and only being able to carry 53 guys sometimes teams just dont carry enough players for all the injuries ( like us with LB last year). If you could bring back injured players 8 games later instead of losing him for the whole season, it would help GM managethe roster much better.

He most certainly did:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Only players with a "major injury" who are placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on Tuesday, September 4, or thereafter during the season, will be eligible to be reactivated at a later time.

I had never heard of it until now. I'm sure once Rooney put the screws down on the NFLPA it was pushed through.

I don't keep track of the NFL legal rules competition NFLPA committee. Don't care.

I do care about getting a cheap shot in on the Steelers whenever possible, however.

you ain't gotta be such a douche towards people man, were all panthers fans i don't know what your problem is. and it got done today, it doesn't matter how long it was in the works. just matters they came to an agreement on it today

[baussneggar]

Who is this Brandon Otah feller? Or maybe it's Jeff Hogan... I get them confused.
