And they can choose to sign with any team they want. Just because a team offers then a PS spot, they don't have to take it. They can decide to sign with the Saints even though another team may offer more, IIRC.

Of course. But OTOH it's equally unlikely that a PS player on any squad will pass up the opportunity to sign on a 53 man roster and have the possibility of playing in real games for real money as opposed to remaining on a PS.

I was just trying to clarify that PS players are free agents, and have all the options that free agents have. As such even if they clear waivers and are placed on a PS, then any team can still sign them to a 53 man roster.
