Doc Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 16 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: I just looked all over for the official rules and a few articles as well as reporters on Twitter have contradictory reports on it. From reading numerous articles on it, it seems, but I have never seen official NFL statement about it that a bunch of guys trained and tried out for scouts. At that time they could have been signed as free agents. If they weren't, and I don't think any were this time, they are put into the Pathway Program and if the Bills decide to use the 11th spot they don't have to waive him and no one can poach him and he cannot play. In no article from the NFL or legit source did it ever mention even a chance of making the 53. It seems that Wade cannot play this year no matter what. That doesn't make sense to me, but a lot of these articles over the last three years said same thing. Once in that program he's only eligible for PS and ineligible to play at all this year. That would be odd not to let him on a 53-man roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Graham, who is pretty knowledgeable even if you don't like him, said in his Athletic article that he can be on the roster and play, has to be waived, other teams can then sign him, and if not then he can be on PS as 11th. That's what I thought and makes sense. But the NFL articles imply otherwise. Of course the Nfl is dumb all the time despite being most successful league in any sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Another one for our new British friends, or at least for our rugby fans: what kind of salary would a guy like Wade be making playing for Wasps? I saw some references to the possible draw of an NFL salary, which would strike me as strange given that he'd be coming in at the bottom in the NFL, but if rugby stars don't earn all that much that would be understandable.

But if the Bills cut him so as to stash him on the PS, another team can sign him to their active roster, right? So if he shows something, it would be a risk to cut him. No he can't be picked up this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top class international Rugby player will make about £500,000 a year ($600,000). Wade was, for reasons of perceived poor defensive ability, never rated by the England head coach, hence only one cap. So he would have been on about £350,000 ($420,000). But he didn't make the switch just for money. His girlfriend lives in New York. Edited August 10, 2019 by bargepole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys can make up to $500k or so and even more than draft picks but it's rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
