Is he practice squad eligible? As think we could keep him in an emergency, injury permitting.

Hey Jokeman, I had to look for a bit, but here is a breakdown for the practice squad for 2021.  Most of the articles were for the 2020 season.  They reverted back to 12 from 16.  2 of the 12 can be at any age and eligibility.  It’s about 3/4 down the article.  The other 10 are under the new CBA rules (you can read it to not bore you).

 

The bottom line is for 2 guys there are no real restrictions and thus he could easily be placed on the PS if he is not an IR candidate, and I hope he isn’t as they probably will do an injury settlement and just release him.  It’s a crowded room for his position.

 

Regardless of his dad, I am sorry for the guy.  No one likes to see injuries.

The article does not seem to be entirely correct.  They made changes to prevent team from stashing players on PS by paying them equivalent of being on 53 man roster.

This first group, which makes up a majority of the team’s practice squad, is set to earn a minimum weekly salary of $9,200 throughout the 2021-22 season. Under the new CBA, this number is set to increase each year because the league continues to see more and more profits each year. There’s also no maximum weekly salary when it comes to this first group.

Hate that for any young player - even one with that name.

 

Take the year - recover 100% and come back strong for next year.

OK, who threw the D-cell?  Hope he's OK, he can't help who his Dad is.

 

This is not a good place for the Cox clan.

 

Joking aside, I hate seeing injuries like this.

Right? I can’t help but think of his middle finger throwing pops every time I see that name—viscerally couldn’t stand that guy…🧐

But time heals all wounds, they say.

Unfortunate.

 

I remember the coaching staff was giving him good praise last year. Good enough to keep him around for another year.

 

Hopefully he can come back after this and find a way on the active roster.

 

Admit it everyone, we all want this young man to succeed just so we can see his dad at the games all decked out in Bills gear.

I'm not sure I should admit this here, but I eventually lost some of my B. Cox hate after catching him on some broadcasts- seemed like a like-able smart guy, haha.

I remember after a game between the Bills & Dolphins, there was a shot of Bryan Cox talking to Don Beebe, and they looked like they were best buds.

The salary cap only applies to the top 50 on a roster (or something like that). I guess it's possible you would be bumping a rookie minimum deal out of the top 50 if you have a vet minimum guy on the practice squad, but only the top 50 or whatever players count toward the salary cap...the rest is just a cash flow thing only (no cap implications)

Especially at an appearance of the Phish in Buffalo.  I imagine he would wear his son's jersey and a Phish cap.

it was kind of fun to have such a villan on the Dolphins.  I mean a guy who straight up disliked you/your team, and who you could just dislike back.  I'm not sure there is anyone like that in the AFC East currently?

yeah, some of it might have just been fun.
