Forward Progress Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Here are the new Practice Squad eligibility rules: The extra two players can have up to 32 games on an active roster over their first two seasons while remaining eligible for the practice squad, meaning essentially any 2012 or 2013 rookies now become eligible. As for the other eight spots on the practice squad, those players are under the old eligibility rule which allows for no more than eight games on an active NFL roster.

JM57 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Here are the new Practice Squad eligibility rules: The extra two players can have up to 32 games on an active roster over their first two seasons while remaining eligible for the practice squad, meaning essentially any 2012 or 2013 rookies now become eligible. As for the other eight spots on the practice squad, those players are under the old eligibility rule which allows for no more than eight games on an active NFL roster. ...so TJ Graham WOULD be eligible and TBD hero Landon Cohen would not. Interesting. Edited August 31, 2014 by JM57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm not sure if Graham would be eligible. He played in a lot of games (relatively speaking of course) over 2 seasons. He is, due to new rules with the way the PS is now set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I actually think Tuel won't be on the PS. Just a gut feeling, but I think the FO and staff were so disappointed in his regression that they are going to cut the cord. Ladler, for sure. I still don't get it: Regression? Sure, he didn't light up the world, but I sure did get the feeling when I saw him playing, he had a much better idea of what he wanted to do than EJ did. Is he ready to be a clear #2, probably not, but he wasn't awful. I do think he deserves a Practice Squad opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This link is who Chris Brown identifies as the eligible players by rule, the old then the new. No Gurley on it. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2014/08/21/bills-practice-squad-eligibility-list/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I still don't get it: Regression?

Is he ready to be a clear #2, probably not, but he wasn't awful. I do think he deserves a Practice Squad opportunity. How much more do you need to see with Tuel? he sucks, can we move on and at leastTarget a low end mediocre QB? he has no business in the NFL or CFL. he gives the word scrub a bad name. The "win now" mantra of the Whaley regime has no place for this guy. I would like to see the FO Build a winner. Tuel has no chance of being that.

No Gurley on it. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2014/08/21/bills-practice-squad-eligibility-list/ I want to say Gurley has been on other team's PS for 2 seasons so he is no longer eligible. Going off that breakdown I would assume Tuel and Graham get the two "expanded" slots unless someone else is poached from elsewhere. I've seen on Twitter that Broomfield has signed to the PS so that leaves 7 more regular slots. My guesses are Holley, Wheeler/MacPherson, Igbinosun, Gaines, Ladler, one of the CBs and maybe Unga/McClain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Deon Broomfeld announced on his Twitter account that he's signed to our practice squad. And I clearly didn't read the post above mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I clearly didn't read the post above mine. I assume the team contacted him and made him an offer and he wanted to stay and agreed. I don't think you can sign until later today.

Just a gut feeling, but I think the FO and staff were so disappointed in his regression that they are going to cut the cord. Ladler, for sure. I thought Tuel was better this year. Still not ready to be the only backup but not worse. Thad was worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 My understanding noon ET signings can start. Thanks. Here is a site that tracks them. Not sure if it is the quickest but it has a good start. Looks like Broomfield and Ike with the Bills. http://nfltraderumors.co/nfl-practice-squad-signings-tracker/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
