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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
