Gave tunsil and stills Guess that’s a good haul, but Tunsil could be a top 3 LT very soon. Still don’t think I would trade Tunsil for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also people act like cut players are pure gold but the thing is they have to be signed to an active roster by somebody else... our practice squad guys have to be better than somebody else's active roster...

So, doesn't change the fact that teams that aren't as deep and as good as the Falcons probably have players on their 53 man rosters that they're willing to cut to sign one of the players the Falcons cut. octoslash and Drew4719 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, to be fair we had more cap room for offseason from March through August. Helps having space since you can't predict all the numbers and structure on all UFAs + re-signings and new deals for Julio/Debo/Grady. 6 hours ago, falconidae said: Guess he's not getting 175 yards and 4 TDs after all.

Gray may never crack a roster, but he has flashed. Blake was closest to OZ for that 6th spot. If you can stash both all year? They replace Sanu and Hardy next season possibly. In other news, Marvin Hall was released by CHI. 4LoveoftheGame 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesus 24,657 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It's also important to note that guys cut and/or sent to the practice squad aren't as good as we may think they are. Other teams have practice squads too and they also want to develop their own diamonds in the rough . Ergo Proxy and Drew4719 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. If you want to sign a PS player on another team you must put them on the active roster. You cannot grab a PS player from another team and place him on your PS. Sorry for the repetition. I saw the question and incomplete answer and thought it was important to provide a more accurate response. I think I was 12th to post an answer. Sorry for wasting space on here. You people better know the answer now. There will be a test tomorrow. Edited September 1, 2019 by NaGaBoy Redundant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any team that wants to sign one of our PS players must first deal with who they will cut from their active roster. For some teams this may be relatively painless, but for many teams, this is too risky. They would be cutting a player they know well for a player they saw for a limited time in preseason. It usually happens because their depth at a position is inadequate for the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
