You got us cutting Richie James and then have him as our top KR.

Great eye! This is why this place rules.

Does James still qualify for PS (not saying he's get through waivers)?

Yes, he has only one accrued NFL season. They're eligible for 2, generally. 3 if they've not been on an active roster in either of their first 2 seasons.

This whole PS eligibility has befuddled me for years. How do you determine how many "accrued" seasons he has?

If they're on the active roster for 6 games that's an accrued season. If James is on any roster for 6 games this year, he won't be PS eligible in 2020.

OK, thanks sort of, but now I'm confused again. James was on the active roster in 2018 which according to your post rules out a 3rd season. Does that not already make him ineligible for the PS in 2020, no matter what happens this year? IOW, if I understand this correctly, he's PS eligible this year but no longer after this year.

I like your list AB the only difference I see is Mayfield is probably a lock for the practice squad he appears to be the only back up to FB. Also it would not surprise me if Azeez makes the team instead of Reynolds or Mayo. I think Mayo has a guaranteed contract but Azeez appears to have that IT element I would hate to see him get snatched up.

Thanks. I absolutely love Azeez Al-Shaair, but yeah Mayo's deal is nearly fully GTD, only save $100K if they cut him, where we save $645K if we cut Reynolds, whose salary would become GTD week 1.

Mayfield could make the PS, but I think they'd want to keep their draft pick plus I doubt Mayfield will get claimed.

The PS rules are so hard to understand, James could be eligible for a 3rd season, the NFL added that into the past few seasons where a guy can be on the {S for up to 3 seasons, yes an accrued season I 6 games on the 53 man roster, James was on it for all 16.

I forget the exact rules for the PS.

^ Good list, Command - I especially like your McKinnon and Malcom Smith cuts.

He didn't cut Mckinnon, he's starting him on IR with designation to return.

Oops, guess it's the next best thing.

Eligibiilty
The standard eligibility for a player to be added to the practice squad is he is a free agent and has not accrued two years of NFL service. A player can only be on a practice squad for three seasons total in his career (six weeks on a practice squad in a season counts as a season for these purposes).

The league does allow for exceptions to the less than two-year rule, which was expanded with the 10-player rule. Teams may keep up to four players on their practice squad who have accrued two seasons of NFL experience, which allows a fringe player the chance to stay with the team, even if he already has been in the league, while also allowing the teams to keep more veteran players.

Accrued seasons are earned by being on the active (53-man) roster for a team for six games in a single regular season.

Yeah, I've read about 8 different interpretations of this rule and each time I think I understand it, some other vagary or ambiguous phrase crops up. I don't why I do this to myself, trying to actually understand it. I'll do my best to sit back and let somebody else tell me if someone is eligible for the PS or no, no questions asked.

Not bad, just an FYI, McKInnon and Taylor can't be placed on PUP, only short term IR.

I don't see them going with only 5 LBs.

I think Austin Walter will make a run for the 4th RB spot if we keep 4 backs without Jet.

I think Sam Young has the upper hand on Skule due to experience.

My only issue with some guys making this team like Matthews, is we GTD his $1M salary week 1, same for a Wesley Johnson, though I think he's worth a spot.

I agree with probably 95% of your roster, hopefully Weston is ready for week 1, if not, Dillon Day would be a wise choice to keep.

I love Tim Harris, but maybe we can either sneak him onto the PS, or IR him(stash him).

Another definition added to the Team Information thread. Thanks AB.
