New Rule

Recommended Posts

Just came to agreement, or i just saw it i should say.. each team can activate 1 player off IR during the season.. such as that we can activate Brandon Hogan at some point during the season if he can get healthy, or the steelers can activate Decastro.

i think this is a great rule, and could help us and other teams out throughout the season. I guess we could see Hogan this season after all

I wish the NFL rule was more like MLB. 30 day IR or 60 day IR or 4 games or 8 games or whatever. With the salary cap and only being able to carry 53 guys sometimes teams just dont carry enough players for all the injuries ( like us with LB last year). If you could bring back injured players 8 games later instead of losing him for the whole season, it would help GM managethe roster much better.

where'd you see this because i didn't see that and adam schefter certainly didn't say it lol

He most certainly did:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Only players with a "major injury" who are placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on Tuesday, September 4, or thereafter during the season, will be eligible to be reactivated at a later time.

I had never heard of it until now. I'm sure once Rooney put the screws down on the NFLPA it was pushed through.

I don't keep track of the NFL legal rules competition NFLPA committee. Don't care.

I do care about getting a cheap shot in on the Steelers whenever possible, however.

Wrong again. This had been in the works for months, way before DeCastro got injured.

Where do you people come up with this bullshit?

you ain't gotta be such a douche towards people man, were all panthers fans i don't know what your problem is. and it got done today, it doesn't matter how long it was in the works. just matters they came to an agreement on it today

    • We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.
    • This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together. 
    • Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
