$100k pretty sweet. But wasn't he on the roster week 1? I think that should make his contract guaranteed regardless. If I'm not mistaken that is. Gotta add a couple more k's if he's getting the league minimum.

yea thats true. I know Tampa has paid a couple of their practice squad players league minimum. I don't think their is a limit to how much you can pay a practice squad player. Some teams will pay a lot more just to entice other players to come play.
