[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 794415"] The primary restriction in signing a player off another team's practice squad is he must be signed to a 53 man roster, a promotion and in most cases a significant increase in pay. They are not "free agents". A PS player cannot simply jump to another team's PS; he would have to be cut first. This restriction is not intended to prevent PS players from being ****** around. It's intended to prevent teams from stashing capable players on the PS. It's intended to provide players an opportunity for promotion and more pay. They may not have a say in which team might "poach" them, though they could turn down the offer, but I think most would welcome the opportunity to get closer to playing and the meaningful increase in pay. The other restriction is that a player cannot be signed off the PS of a team that the signing team will be playing in their next game unless it's the bye week or it is more than six days prior to that matchup. The reason for this provision is to prevent a team from bringing in a guy from their next opponent just to pick his brain about the opponent's game plan. There may be some cases where a PS player is paid significantly more than the PS minimum, likes his future prospects with that team for the following season, and might not like being claimed by another team even if it is for the 53 man roster and a modest bump in pay. For example, a #3 QB on a PS paid well above the minimum who sees some pretty lousy play in front of him might want to stay put rather than being signed away by a team with a young franchise QB and a vet backup with a couple of years on his contract. These kinds of situations are uncommon, and the player can turn down that offer. [/QUOTE]
