NFL Roster rules

Some of this and maybe all of it will be elementary to a lot of you. But some of these questions will undoubtedly come up soon and this can be 1 central thread for those who need to reference it.

Active roster limit:53

Players who do not count against the active 53: Practice squad,reserve PUP(physically unable to perform) and those listed on Injured reserve.

Injured Reserve rules: In years past once you were put on I.R. you were done for the season. However with the new cba, teams can bring back 1 marquee player from I.R. at any point in the season.

Practice squad rules: 8 players can be on your practice squad. Players can not be on a teams practice squad for more than 2 years. They also are only allowed up 1 accrued season in which they were not activated for more than 9 games. This essentially means this players can practice with your active roster but may not dress for games.

Reserve PUP Rules: Players who receive this designation(different than the preseason active pup, that allows you to keep extra players than can't practice during training camp)are not allowed to practice with the team for the first 6 weeks of the season. Then teams have a 3 week window to either activate the player or place them on I.R.

in addition if another team wants to sign one of your practice squad player to their active roster they are free to do so, assuming they have room on their active roster.

Game day actives: 46,this is the amount each team is allowed to dress each week. Leaving you with 7" inactives" each week. Inactives must be listed some odd hours before kickoff.

Roster cut dates: August 28th:teams must cut down to 80 players

August 31st: teams must cut down to final 53 active players(important to note our last preason game is august 30th, so Hurney/Rivera and crew will have less than 24 hours to make their final decisions after the final tryout game.)

Also you are free to pay practice players more to entice them to stay. They are free to turn down offers from other teams.

That new ir rule hasnt been approved by the nflpa. Guess its not so elementary. Also i dont think its ANY point i think there are stipulations.

Good thing you were the first to read this thread! Took me a few minutes to research some of that poo, but your like a walking nfl rule book. Thanks.

You would have to pay them a bunch over the normal practice squad rate to get them not to go elsewhere. The practice squad rate in 2012 is 5700 bucks per week. If you take someone from a practice squad you have to promote them to the active roster. The minimum you can pay them is a three week contract for 3/16th of the minimum player salary which is 390,000 or $73,000 which is equivalent to 12 weeks on the practice squad.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
