Practice Squad Eligibility

A team may establish a practice squad of no more than eight* players who do not have an accrued season of free agency credit or who were on the 45-player active list for less than nine regular season games during their only accrued season. A player cannot participate on the practice squad for more than two seasons.

For no more than 2 years? That kind of stinks in a way. I mean you have to be cut from an active roster... wait to see if anyone signs you and if no one does than you can be signed to a PS.

So its possible a guy could be out of the NFL entirely if after riding the PS this season and no one signs him again and the Saints want to retain him on the PS again but can't. So they guy won't be eligible to work???

I smell a law suit in the making. You have the right to work and if a team wants to hire you... duh.
