He went to IR so he's gone for at least the first three games. Not sure what "near future" means in this context.When Jeff Howe announced Gunner had had a "setback," I knew this was coming. At least it sounds like he'll be back in the near future.
The difference is the two vets will be active for game 1 and will get their vet pay for that one game but will not be guaranteed a year's pay like they would have in the past. Sure, it's a deal they're willing to make, but it's a step back for them.Call it a loophole if you want, but it has been a common practice over the years for teams to wait and sign vested veterans after game one for just this reason. Now, with the ability to promote two players per game from the practice squad, both players will be able to play in the game and receive their full veteran minimum weekly pay. As #luuked pointed out earlier, Folk and Williams both freely signed a practice squad contract knowing this was a possibility if not a certainty.

Yes he was, so I thought he had a chance to stick around as the backup Slot SB in case Jonathan Jones continued his poor play from the end of last season after his return from injury...Good for Bryant, he was a camp standout.
You should've re-signed Corey Levin, who is Infinity times better than that feckin weak-ass lightweight stiff...
Do you think Stephen is a good coach?Feckin Thanksdad again, Bill? Seriously? You should've re-signed Corey Levin, who is Infinity times better than that feckin weak-ass lightweight stiff...Feckin disgraceful...But I should not have been surprised; this is the same dude who has not just one but two of his kids on the staff...
Can’t really read anything about starters into a practice squad move.I would think that Froholdt was chosen over Levin purely based on his ability to back up the center position. Froholdt has played center in college. Levin has no experience there and yet he is listed as the back-up center on the "official" depth chart. Maybe Andrews is having trouble getting back up to speed or maybe he faded during the game last week so there may be some concern? We won't be told.
Do you think Stephen is a good coach?
Do you think Ferentz is worthy of a practice squad spot? I know we're talking about the least consequential part of a roster but there's absolutely no redeeming qualities to this particular player. He's one of the worst offensive linemen I've ever seen play in the NFL and is 31 years old. If his dad weren't a highly visible college coach, I guarantee he wouldn't have made it more than 2-3 years into his career. Even if he provides some kind of intangible "wisdom" as a member of the scout team (which is itself a questionable premise), why not just bring him in to help the coaching staff? He's not an NFL player and he's occupying a spot that should belong to one.
I don't think I'm a good enough scout to tell you wether or not he is better and more prepared than some young kid we would usually have on the P.S. I think it would be hard to expect veteran linemen who are actually somewhat talented to be available for the P.S.Do you think Ferentz is worthy of a practice squad spot?
