2026 Draft Rd 6 #35 K Trey Smack Florida

It is a possibility. In 2024 we sign the rookie from the Titans after we tried out Joseph and our 2033 kicker. We finally signed McManus a number of weeks in to beat the Texans. But we had no safety valve.

I'm pretty sure that Havrisik will go to the PS. I think he cleared waivers once and I expect he would clear them again - sctuslly I don't even know if he has to do that.

Are PSs built each year with players who have cleared waivers? Or if they were on the PS at the end of a season, does that protect them the next season. I don't know but I'm sure someone does. Thanks.

Yup. It is still the Wild West out there. Some programs were well out ahead of others on both. Seems like those programs are battling with tanks and destroyers, while others are just learning how to shoot a flintlock. I predict over the next 5 years, a HUGE gap between the top teams and the bottom tier in talent, success and ability to even keep certain programs afloat.

The portal and the way NIL is handled will result in a pretty locked in Top 10 every year, maybe Top 15. The level of talent will be stark with the teams that can't compete to attract players.

I also expect players who are driving up revenue at their college receive some kind of compensation. There just has to be a better way.

There is no real protection. Players are free agents before offered PS slots. So they are cuts or randos at home on th couch.

At th conclusion of the season, teams can offer futures contracts, basically offer PS players to be a part of next seasons 90 man roster.

Just a tidbit. While all that might be true. Havrisik would be signed in 24 hours or a short nap on that Couch. He also can’t be cut he’s not vested so the could be waived to move to PS.

I would think the safer thing to do would be just find a spot on the Roster until we figure out what’s what?

I think that once a player clears wavers and goes on the PS; there is a way to make it so a few players that you designate cannot be poached. Maybe you have to pay them more or something.

I'm sure there are nuances to it, like almost everything else, but the bottom line is that teams can 'protect' four players on the PS from being signed away.

I like that. For me that list would start with either a QB3 or 1 or 2 specialists on Teams. Such as a LS or Kicker. Especially in postseason where you don’t want Christian McCaffrey doubling at QB like he did a few years ago.
