Then cut him

i guess you were correct and i was wrong ... i thought for sure a veteran like Gaz would know the rules


my bad



laz
~sarcasm meter = broken~

Also, what other Canadian players have we had good fortune with?

I was also under the impression the practice squad was still part of the organization. Why is it that the contracts are null and void if a player is on the practice squad? If the contract has been signed, and the guy is getting his dough...

Also, no one else finds it necessary our backup has actual NFL experience?

Moooo

They can't keep all 4.

They can't put Huard on the PS.

There's no way Croyle would clear waivers to go the PS.

There's only 2 choices:

1) Cut Huard and have zero experience backing up Green.
2) See if Printers can clear waivers and put him on the PS.

I personally like #2. I've seen too many Brian Shay-types come through this organization to get too excited about Printers.

That's kind of how I see it too.

Although, to be honest I might prefer option 1. We lose our Green, and it won't matter who's next man in.

The one thing I wonder about is the differing styles of Croyle and Printers. I have to think one of these guys does not fit like the other. Printers currently doesn't fit, but Croyle may not fit what Edwards has invisioned for the future (god forbid).

i don't think that works either


there were a few teams in contract negotiations for Printer and he can always just go back to the CFL.


i doubt the 75k per year practice squad contract is enough to keep him around even if he did clear waivers.



either/or huard or printers or Croyle ....... the chiefs are just gonna have to cut one imo.


i hope it's Huard personally

Warren Moon?

:D

Huard needs to step it up and break his neck. That way we carry the two most viable athletes. it's six of one or half dozen of the other between Croyle\Printers.

I think croyle would be better for us short term, but Printers could be the kind of guy that causes the Rat to retire if he lives up to his potential.

That said, Carl will float a rumor about croyle having more knee probs, and put him on the pup, and sneak him onto the ps in week six when priest comes back, and rushes for 183 yards off the bench. Either that, or he will trade croyle for some tweener fb\te de\dt\lb that will never see the field.

Yep, I agree with you. From what I've been hearing, Croyle is showing alot more than Printers this preseason, too.

NFL contracts are not guaranteed ... and a player has to be cut(contract termination) before being placed on the practice squad.

when a player whom is under contract is cut by an NFL team they have go through the waiver process before a team can sign them again.


practice squad players have a set contract amount IIRC. It was 50k per year .......... now i think it's been raised (75k ??? )

Well, to be honest, I don't see why any team would keep two QBoTF. If Green sprains an ankle and is going to miss the last 2 quarters, but will be back the following week, play Huard. If Green is down for 3 or 4 games, start Huard for the first couple of games and see how it goes, replace him with Croyle if he struggles. If Green goes down for the season, play Croyle. I see no reason to keep Printers on this team.

That being said, I care about Green and Croyle. I could really care less what they do with the other two.

This is PRECISELY the type of Printers hyperbole I'm talking about.

Isn't it fun to see us go through the process of elimination? So basically we either have to get rid of Huard, Printers, or Croyle, because all three are either ineligible for the practice squad, or have too much upside to be left out in the open.

So either cut one of the two with the upsides or cut our #2 QB, and double down on the bet that one of them will develop into a star.

Moooo

Where in the hell would anyone get that idea? He lost a starting job in the CFL didn't he?
