2016 Practice Squad

[long distance]

Here is a good intro from Rich Hill to get us started with rules etc.
It starts TODAY 1:00 PM EST

7 potential Patriots practice squad targets and eligibility rules

And here (always) updated Miguel's great breakdown of our PS eligibles

2016 New England Patriots eligible for the practice squad

*

Id start mine with mostly our TC players

RB - since Gaffney is injured somebody from the other cuts (Cobb, Troymaine Pope, McCluster, Brown) though this might be hard because their original teams might have the same idea
WR - ? Lucien if he's ok (I had Carter but maybe its better to push the reset button here; somebody like Braverman would be nice but Bears might wanna bring him back or Mitch Mathews who they worked out yesterday)
TE - Bryce Williams
OL - Halapio/Barker (when Cooper or Mason are activated - Karras + Waddle/Fleming)
DT - Hamilton/Chris Jones or someone from other cuts
DE - Grissom (might not clear waivers)
LB - KGH (This would made my day / or break it if he goes elsewhere)
CB - LeBlanc or somebody taller from other cuts that BB likes

on the bubble
S - Sunseri (he has weaknesses but also a great heart)

I still don't understand why there are eligibility rules. Just let teams do whatever they want.

Because practice squads wee created to develop young players not to add veterans and pay them significantly less than the vet minimum.


My god the players take in on the chin in every way let's not complain about one thing that favors them.

I don't see what the problem is, they can still sign to an active roster at any time. Why would they complain about doing something over being an unsigned free agent?

I'd like to see; KGH, D. Roberts, LeBlanc, Grissom, Rufus Johnson, Lucien. From our cuts.

D. Roberts is released with injury designation ...

[PP2]

If they aren't snatched away, LeBlanc and KGH will be on the PS.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Damn, he was there last year.

From Mark Daniels:

I guess they are thinking about keeping some of these guys.

 

[DaBruinz]

Damn, he was there last year.

Why damn? He didn't distinguish himself in the games and that is what matters, yes? And Harper didn't either, imho.

I agree. I guess I feel bad for the guy. He had a few good moments during the summer, but the depth at inside wideout obviously was a factor as well.

First who posts that KGH is back gets a big ... hmm ... let's see ...

 

[DarrylS]

One of the very few things that the NFL does is bring about suspense at every juncture of the season... this is just another example, check back at 1:01 and see what happened..

Unless you are Dallas in that case you can sign your PS yesterday afternoon..

 

[Mike the Brit]

First who posts that KGH is back gets a big ... hmm ... let's see ...

Can someone explain to me why everyone is so ... um, "worked up" about a 220lb linebacker?

 

[DaBruinz]

Eagles have claimed KGH

 

[AtomicDawg]

Bears have LeBlanc

 

[AtomicDawg]

Jets have Roberts

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Eagles have claimed KGH

Ugh. Really wanted to see him develop here as a hybrid player. Thought that with enough work he could end up somewhere between Chung and Collins in terms of responsibility and play.
