My Proposed Offer To Jordan

[mgteich]

TEAM TO JORDAN
1) We will elevate you for the next three weeks. paying your full pay each week.
2) After the Practice Squad maximum of 3 weeks, we will sign you to a contract to be on the 53, including a signing bonus.
3) You end up being paid as much as if we had signed you to begin with.
4) The team gains a roster spot for 3 weeks which it needs for evaluating OT's. We now carry 5 OT's. We will make a decision in the next two weeks or free up a roster spot somewhere else.
==========
A WIN-WIN
We need a backup LG, especially one that can play center in an emergency (he isn't solid enough to be the regular backup center).

Again, this needs it's own thread?

Perhaps the answer might be in your question? Though your question may have been its own thread.

No but these random thought threads mgteich makes are classic.

Here's my offer: don't suck and we won't cut you from the PS. Get better and we might even move you to the 53.

Seriously. Who has concerns late a night about the 54th best player on the team? Lol

Cut Jordan today and you’ll find a bunch of Jordan’s on practice squads or on the street within the hour.

Outside of perhaps the signing bonus isn't that pretty much what happens in a 'standard elevation' under the current PS rules? I'm missing something, how does it constitute an 'offer' when those are the parameters of his existing PS contract?

Seems like a lot of hassle just to bring back Jordan Richards. He wasn't even good.

 

[Sciz]

He’s getting active roster pay when he’s elevated, so there’s no lost money to make up via a signing bonus. What you’re describing did happen with Kevin Harris in 2022, but that’s because he actually got PS pay for 5 weeks.

Talent wise you are probably right but Jordan knows the system and there is value in that and honestly he did pretty well last week.

I will take mgteich's actual football-based question threads any day of the week. Some pass quickly, some spark a lot of discussion around the roster. Much better than rumor mill type discussion.

The Patriots have to pay a players "full pay" whenever they elevate the player. Why would this be an incentive to Jordan?

You say the Pats are carrying 5 OTs. What if they don't consider THOMAS to be an OT?

I also don't believe that what you say is LEGAL from a CBA standpoint, though I'm not 100% sure.

you deserve to be forced to start Leverett this week if Jordan is picked up by someone else. But that's fine; all the scrubs are equal. NOT

1) I believe that there is a limit of 3 elevations.
2) Someone else might pick him up, when we I would greatly rather have him starting over Leverett.
3) In the end, it seems that folks here prefer Leverett. OK.

But he can't agree to more elevations than the CBA allows for without being rostered and unless he is on our 53 any other team can pick him up. I'm not more enamored of either player i just don't see how they can offer jordan something the CBA prohibits. Again, there's something you seem to be seeing available from a contract standpoint to the player and team that I'm not getting

We are essentially replacing JAG for JAG. When Sow comes back at least we can get a decent player at LG.. that will then allow the depth to balance out.
