I know there is one to get the roster to 53, but the way i understand it, they cannot exceed 90.  I am guessing they have not contacted the players yet, and it will be announced any time.  This is, of course, assuming that my assumption that we went over the limit is correct.  

And then there is the international player provision, and one site had the UDFAs listed and noted that a couple are from Canada--whatever that means.

I think international players do not count against the 90 man limit. The Panthers have had several over the years. They will however count as part of the 53 if kept after final cuts.

They will not be able to stash him on the practice squad. 

I hope they don't Matt Corral him and only give him like 2 reps at the end of each practice. He's talented but he needs some reps at the NFL level unless they just want him to be a gadget guy

Hes got a funky throwing motion and just isnt accurate so I think gadget guy is his only path even then he is still a bit small for that

Can't you protect 4 players on PS? 

I maybe wrong, I think its 2 players and you can only protect them from the team your playing that week or some weird rule. I maybe off and I know it changed some. I still recall when that rule first happen, the pats would not protect any player, cause bill thought if teams knows we value these guys the most, teams would sign them.

It also maybe only 4 weeks you can use the "protect" label. I honestly don't know the current wording, it has changed.

Having Chris Weinke as a coach at GT probably didn't help things lol. I think he did get a good QB coach this offseason though.

You can protect up to 4 per week but they can't be protected forever. So at some point, they have to come off the list which means if we keep him, he'll likely need to be on the 53.

I think you can only protect them from Wednesday til GameDay. I think they are free to sign mon-tuesday. Of course this changes if they are Monday night or Thursday night game....

Being that no other backup has more  than 1 year, you are right! This is an investment  worth putting time in.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
