I mean, to be fair, it is kind of a stupid oversight - having your QB2 on your practice squad and your QB3 on your 53 is a pretty odd scenario that I doubt many teams would actually exploit, and I’m sure it’s not what the league intended. But at the same time, you can only PS elevate that QB2 twice so it’s only something you could take advantage of for two weeks and then you’d need to sign the player. It seems like a bit of an overreaction. “Oh no, NE will save a roster spot for two weeks!!! Quick, send a memo!!!”So essentially we’re being punished for knowing the rule.
Any league that was properly run would tell all teams to table any changes until next offseasons rules meetings. Not change things days prior to the season start date. But I’d expect nothing less from the NYFL.
Speed, Bryant,or Wade candidates for release to PS?Yeah.

They’ve been crying since 2001 and I for one, welcome their baby tears and tantrums.Teams definitely cried about our roster tinkering.
I said this earlier or Bench Corral and bring in Zappe whatever happened to coaches decisions?On the off chance Mac gets hurt, couldn't the Pats game the new rule and have Corral get "hurt" and then have Zappe come in to replace him?
Reif just went on IR.Speed, Bryant,or Wade candidates for release to PS?
They already signed Pharaoh Brown to take his spot.Reif just went on IR.
No. The rule memo clarifies that all 3 players must be on the 53 in order to get the game day roster exemption for the third QB. If one of their QBs is a PS elevation, they can’t get that exemption. They would need to have all 3 guys active to be able to play all 3.On the off chance Mac gets hurt, couldn't the Pats game the new rule and have Corral get "hurt" and then have Zappe come in to replace him?
Seen that on Fakebook, but no thread here on the signing gave the impression that it was BS.They already signed Pharaoh Brown to take his spot.
There’s a difference between calling a player up from the PS for a game, and signing them to the 53 man roster.QB2 or QB3 mean little. Because coaches could refuse to rank them that way (as BB keeps doing in never calling Mac his "starter")
But, the real confusion is what I saw on one of the articles saying the emergency QB can't be a PS call-up?
Do they mean "in-game call-up"? If so, that's fine. But there's no way they can say that you can't sign a PS QB to the 53 on Friday, and then designate him the emergency QB3 on the "technically" inactive list, right? That's absurd.
