Gotta Practice Squad Question


Recommended Posts

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.

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
