generaLee83 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 There's been alot of chatter recently about Martin Nance, his lack of playing time and the prediction that he will end up on the practice squad. Now if I'm to understand the process correctly a player cannot just be placed on the PS. They first must be waved and if there is no interest from other teams then they can be assigned to the PS. (please correct me if I am wrong, I will not have hard feelings) Big Ben is quite high on Nance as press reports have indicated: http://www.realfootball365.com/nfl/article...ills220606.html I would think that Nance will probably get picked up by Pitt since their Super Bowl QB loves him as a target. What do they have to lose by putting him on their PS. Why would Nance want to stay in Bflo if he could go and play a bit with his old college QB with whom he has a strongly developed chemistry. I'm not saying that the guy should automatically get a spot in Bflo but I would have thought that he would have gotten more playing time in the preseason. I guess that I am worried that there was almost too much depth at WR this preseason (I know that is a crazy remark) and I hope that Nance doesn't go somewhere else and suddenly in 3 years he's a hot item.

Once the player clears the waiver wire (no one picks him), then I think he is free to chose the team (like a FA signing) for their PS. The steelers have enough depth on their WR corps (Ward, Wilson, the guy from the Browns, Nate Washington, rookie WR Holmes etc)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It's very possible that IF Nance is cut, he chooses another team with a thin WR corp. I think the Steelers are a likely destination, given their need and BR being their QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Very possible they're kind of hiding him the way they did Peters so he can slip through to the PS. Not a problem to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. Marv is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
