[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 615031"] The actual CBA provision noted above is more specific; your conjecture looks to be correct. The Packers will have to keep a full active roster throughout the season or they'll have to cut him or promote him. The rules are convoluted because they are a (1) a product of negotiations and (2) they balance competing, and evidently conflicted, interests. The teams want to maximize opportunities to develop players. On the other hand, they want to limit their opponents' ability to stash players. The NFLPA wants as many members as possible on one level. On another level, every opportunity afforded a developmental player threatens the veteran voting base. This fact is illustrated in the NFLPA agreeing to the rookie salary scale impacting future players which do not have a vote in exchange for benefits attractive to the existing voting base, such as better retiree benefits, a bigger piece of the TV revenue pie, etc. [/QUOTE]
