When would you rather be a practice squad member than on the 53 man ro (1 Viewer)

LMAO

from the GB Post Gazette

How bad does your team have to be to turn down a spot on an NFL 53 man roster?

Tori Gurley decided his prospects were better staying where he is, so rather than take the Minnesota Vikings' offer for a spot on their 53-man roster this week, he accepted a pay raise to remain on the Green Bay Packers' practice squad the rest of the season





That is just insult to injury

Wow, just wow...

 

[identikit]

Well, he got a pay raise.

Lets see, he'll continue to get playoff checks and maybe a ring.. no brainer

never thought about the playoff checks - but for practice squad members, its just their usual pay, not -a full share, but it's still cash.

Plus, hey, I mean the WRs on GB have been banged up - it's not impossible for this guy to have a chance to actually play a little in January (not probable of course)-QG

6 games on Green Bay's practice squad > 3 games on Minnesota's active roster.

Sometimes this also has to do with their previous playing time. Once you hit a certain number of active games, you are no longer eligible for practice squads...which can sometimes signal the end of someone's career.

I don't think that applies in this case, because I think he'd have to be on Minnesota's active roster for 6 games to lose his practice squad eligibility.
