Too funny... only an hour or so ago I wondered aloud on another thread about whether there had been any news on new practice squad rules.... and lo and behold, this evening comes this tweet:

So the 10 person PS has been approved for another years, and 2 more players can have 2 accrued seasons.

GREAT NEWS for the Panthers given that we work hard at developing young players over a few seasons.  I'm thinking this could have implications for players like Bersin, Foucault...

The NFL and the NFLPA have reached an agreement to continue the expanded practice squad rule that passed in 2014.

For the past two seasons, each team’s practice squad has been expanded to ten players from the eight player practice squads the league previously had. It was a little-known fact this offseason that the deal had expired, but the two sides have reached an agreement to continue moving forward.

In addition to the ten-man practice squad, the league also expanded the number of ‘veteran’ practice squad players allowed. In the past two seasons, two players with two years of accrued service were still eligible for the practice squad, and that number has been expanded to four players moving forward. What this means is that there will be more chances for players with a little bit of playing time (two accrued seasons or less) to stick around with an NFL team on their practice squad.

Garrett always would have been eligible since he's a rookie.  The limit is still 10 players, as it's been the past 2 seasons.  The change is that we can now keep around some guys who've had some playing time or previous seasons on the PS.

Players like Bersin, Yankey, Laron Byrd, Norwood, Foucault  I think now would all be able to be stashed on the PS.   Doesn't mean they'll be safe from being poached, but it expands our options with some of these guys.

Norwood. Foucault. Lucas?

Garrett worries me if he goes to PS but I guess by that time, if he hasn't earned a spot, he hasn't earned a spot.

Wegher is gone if he goes PS.

I wonder if these rules would encourage any new signings of guys that got cast off before. Ex: Someone like Lester should still be eligible right?

      You're correct. But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explain it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack.   So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.

      Not even what that's about. Moreover, remember that search engines are a tool.
