Well, if they are just tying them up, they are wasting the player for themselves also.
Here is the official rule...
3B. Practice Squad (PS)
During the course of the draft, an owner may select players to be placed on his practice squad (PS). These players are considered “inactive,” but remain the property of the owner. Only players that are obtained during the draft are eligible to be placed on the PS. The practice squad is limited to a total of 3 players.
PS players must be denoted in writing to the Commissioner prior to the start of the season, coinciding with the assignment of contracts.
Due to the limitations of Fleaflicker’s web site (as of this writing), owners will designate their PS players by submitting a list to the Commissioner. (The Commissioner will submit his list to a member of the Executive Board.) The PS players will appear on the owner’s roster, and be placed on the bench.
It is the owner’s responsibility to remember which players are on his PS.
Players on the PS are not assigned contracts, and do not count against an owner’s cap or roster limit. Players can stay on the PS indefinitely (even across multiple seasons).
Players on the PS are considered “inactive” and may not be started unless moved to the active roster. They may be promoted to the active roster and assigned a contract at any point during the season. However, once promoted, they cannot be returned to the PS, and other players may not be picked up and placed on the PS.
Players on the PS who are traded during the season may be placed on the PS for the team that acquires them, provided that the new owner has room (or makes room by activating or dropping some other PS player). PS players may also be activated as part of a trade and added to the new team’s active roster.
