This is a good starting point for the transactions that will take place this weekend. If you are like me I am not in tune to the minutiae of the different types of transactions on NFL rosters.

This will be the busiest weekend without actual games played on the NFL calendar, with all 32 teams required to pare their rosters to 53 players for the regular season before signing a 10-man practice squad.

There are many different types of transactions that can be made, some of them easier to understand than others.

Here's a list of the most common moves that will be announced around the league after the deadline on Saturday afternoon:

I think there could be one error in this article:

Quote

 

RESERVE/INJURED: When a team places an injured player on a reserve list that's exempt from the 53-man limit. He's ineligible to return in the same season.

RESERVE/INJURED WITH DESIGNATION TO RETURN: Each team has one such card to play each season, when a player on injured reserve can return to practice after at least six weeks on the list and play after at least eight weeks on the list.

 

I believe starting this season, teams no longer have to specifically designate which player is the "injured with designation to return".  I think the rules have been changed to allow teams to make that decision later, once a player has been on the IR for six weeks.  Still only 1 player can be brought back onto the roster, but teams get a chance to wait and see who they most want / need to bring back to the roster once some time has elapsed.

So, if I understand correctly, of the players placed on the IR this weekend, each team WILL be able to bring back one of those players (or another player) after they've been on the IR a minimum of 6 weeks.

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
