Practice Squad Eligibility

[Rhoadsy13]

I've been seeing some of you saying you want guys like Tripp & A Johnson on the PS but I don't remember last year but I thought they were both active most of the season last year so unless I'm misunderstanding they wouldn't be PS eligible. I really like Tripp so hope he can be. I'm so like to see Hull & Jones as well.

[h=4]Who's eligible for the practice squad?[/h]Not all players are eligible for a team's practice squad. Eligibility is limited to players who were on an active roster for fewer than six games, or were on the 45-man active gameday roster for fewer than nine games. Plenty of practice squad spots will go to rookies who are still adjusting to the speed and skill of the NFL, but players with limited gameday experience or previous time on the practice squad to start their career are usually eligible, too.
A player is allowed on the practice squad for up to two years, with one year counting as six weeks in a season. A third year on the practice squad is only allowed if the team keeps 53 players on the active-inactive list at all times.

The league recently expanded the practice squad to 10 players and they gave teams TWO exceptions for players that have accrued 2 seasons of free agency credit.

So yea, if Tripp and Johnson were active for more than 8 games last year . . . they would still fall under this rule.

Johnson was only active in 7 games last year it looks like, so he could just fall under a regular practice squad player.

Tripp was in 13 games, so he'd be one of those exceptions.

Tripp should be put on PS, but who knows.. there is some good talent @backer on waivers right now.
