[QUOTE="sschind, post: 840845, member: 10247"] I knew someone would take it literally and I should have taken the time to address every possible argument. No I am sure not every single guy on the 90 man roster would have been Gutes first choice over someone on another roster. I'm sure there are guys that Gute may have wanted who chose to sign somewhere else. You see evidence of that all the time when a team signs a guy who has just been released by another team. Other than draft choices however Gute had just as much opportunity to sign any player as any other team. If they want to go elsewhere there isn't much he can do about it. For the most part though I believe practice squads for all teams are filled with players who have been within the organization for a reason. Those are the guys the GM ended up choosing and they are the guys he knows the best. My point was that people should not be too surprised when guys slip through to the practice squad. Fans often have an over inflated sense of value for their own players thinking any other team would be glad to have them. As others have pointed out though most teams probably have very similar players who their GMs have a special fondness for. [/QUOTE]
