ColoradoBills Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 38 minutes ago, MJS said: I'm fine with whoever they want to have on the practice squad. The practice squad has such a small impact on the team that I don't think it matters a ton. Obviously, it helps a little, but one spot on the practice squad does not impact wins or losses in the slightest. The Bills have 6 former PS players this year on the 53 roster. Wallace, Obada, Kumerow, Zimmer, Jackson and Smith. As a development/emergency squad I think it has a good purpose. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little surprising to me that he had never returned punts in NFL or college. There aren't that many RBs who do, but he is the kind of guy whose skills seem to fit the calling. He has good hands, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Beane adding him to the PS https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/09/01/lions-cut-darren-fells-dean-marlowe/ only 1 safety on the PS .. and I think McBeanevlikes their former players from Carolina .. at least that is the rumor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGMcD2 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Doing the rough math in my head… we’ve kept 71/90 guys we had with us in the off-season between the active roster, IR and practice squad. McBeane loves consistency… I personally value consistency from a personnel standpoint. I’m pretty excited about the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorin' Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) 10 hours ago, HOUSE said: Teams are allowed to begin signing players to practice squad contracts at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Sept. 1. That coincides with the passing of the 24-hour waiver period after the NFL's final roster cuts. NFL teams had to trim their 80-man rosters down to 53 by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. NFL teams are allowed to carry up to six veterans on the practice squad. That means there will be plenty of recognizable names on each unit, especially some experienced quarterbacks. Practice squad players are paid $9200 per week in 2021 The link below shows every teams signed PS players https://www.sportingne ws.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-practice-squad-signings-rosters-2021/jk2nffum9sfv1mwdo0mvd4j8n [Moderator Edited] Somebody had to do it...

I think the “loyalty” we show towards developing players from the PS, and allowing them a shot to earning a spot on a very talented team, earns loyalty back. Players are more likely to stick around and come back to our PS, when they feel they are given a chance to make the roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but he made the original 53 and was cut after the Lions claimed 2 players. So the timing really doesn’t add up. For example Ferguson was cut yesterday so Stevenson could make he 53 and then when Stevenson moved to IR Reid came back. Marlowe was on the Lions ester day when they would of IR’d players and was cut today with their Waiver pick-ups that hav to go on the active roster. Doesn’t mean he won’t be back, but I don’t think it was the cut and IR piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane says the 16th will be from outside, but that's still reasonably unusual, only one from outside. They really did think they had a good group in camp this year.
