Gotta Practice Squad Question

For all you know it all's. 

It seems to me there is a rule about when a team comes and gets a player off your practice squad.  The team that has him on the practice squad has the opportunity to avoid losing him by adding him to their 53 man roster.   Is that correct?

That said and if it is correct.  We should have brought Butker to the 53 man roster and traded him to the highest bidder.  KC and now Tampa would have given a decent draft choice for him.  TB we could have squeezed them for a higher pick because their kicking game is a disaster.

Instead we wasted a pick for nothing.

Hindsight is 20/20...there were no offers at the time...if there were we would have pulled the trigger. No way of knowing the Bucs kicker would poo the bed that bad, or any teams kicker for that matter.

It may work out well for us in next year's draft if Butker has a great year. Could get an extra pick in the middle rounds of the draft. So in essence that 7th round pick coukd end up being a 3rd, 4th, or 5th.

How would we get a pick? He wasn't a free agent loss

Of course it is.  My thinking was we kept him on week 1 roster until Gano showed he was capable of doing what we are paying him to do.   Had we added him back he would have been inactive and we have 3 or 4 guys that will probably be inactive every week.  I would have rather we stiffed KC and put him back to see if we could get something for him.

This is what I thought too?  We get nothing because they took him off the practice squad.   Then again, I am not too savvy on the rules of what happens when someone is claimed.

    Yada, yada, yada. Rabble, rabble, rabble. We lost a 7th round pick. Oh the horror. The kid did what he was drafted to do. Give Gano a push. Or be there if Gano imploded, which did not happen. 

 

    Think of it this way. If you are a Gman fan. You can say he hit on a 7th rounder. If you are not a fan of Gman. You can say he wasted a 7th round pick. In the grand scheme of things. Losing Buttkicker is nothing.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
