[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 851305"] The cost is negligible. When Gutekunst brings in these under $1 million guys to the 53 man roster they just take the place of somebody else who was making under $1 mil, both typically unvested guys who have no guarantees. It's pretty much a cap and cash wash in swapping out one for another. The guys moving in and out of the practice squad are also a wash. Those guys get paid a minimum of $8,000 per week, no strings attached. They are all week-to-week. Now, there might be one or more PS players paid more than the weekly minimum to disuade them from signing with somebody else's PS when cut, maybe somebody like Baylis who's moved back and forth to the 53 man roster a couple of times, but again that amount would be negligible. Campbell activated from PUP to the 53 man with Williams going to PS probably represents a couple $100k savings. Instead of paying both guys under their 53 man roster contracts (which you must do with a PUP player), they are now paying just one. Williams' cost is reduced to his PS weekly pay which is washed out by the PS guy released. The only material costs in moving these inexpensive players in and out of the roster are: [LIST] [*]Possible opportunity cost: The guy you maybe kinda liked but released in a positional numbers game turns into a player somewhere else. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Future cost: A dreadful outcome where one of the guys you keep actually turns into a player and you have to pay him to keep him. What a terrible problem to have. ;) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
