Hate to lose Austin, especially since old Jed has been beach-slapped this season.

I doubt practice squad money is as much as most people think it is. Its about 100 grand average assuming he stays on the squad the entire year for those who are released and then resigned it can be less than 50. Nice money, but I wouldnt say his financial worries are over.

$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.

It's a numbers game.

I'm sticking to what I said... he gets paid more than most of us to be a part of an NFL team. Poor guy, but he's pretty much one injury away from being on the active roster for the team on any given Sunday... I'll take that life any day of the week.

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.

I found this.

Whatever happened to him? Did someone ever pick him up?

For the love of God please stop bringing up Richard Seymour. He is 100% washed up.

That Week 1 clause is for veterans. PS pay is $102,000 for everyone

I just want to know is Tanner really the last man on the team to keep waive there's know one else and how stupid is the rest of the teams in the league to see he's a good player and not pick him up.

Probably picked back up due to pending injury coming up. Just a guess.

Now he has to get into a game and get a ball thrown his way.
