Also, positional value. I doubt that there's a huge clamoring for Nate Sudfeld in the front offices of the 31 other franchises. I also question that there is more positional in a "3rd string quarterback" versus a "depth/special teams player."

They probably pass through waivers with little trouble. Davis? Eh, possibly could get scooped, but I can understand gambling there. Not sure I would say the same about JHC.

I was just wondering why you care so much about putting him on the practice squad if you really don't think much about him. If he's not worth keeping on the 53 man roster, then why keep him at all?

Need arms for practice. Someone has to run the scout team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams alsoways have their own guys that they've worked with all offseason or for the past few seasons that they would take over another teams player. I think JHC is pretty safe on the practice squad, as is Marley, Robertson, Francis or Lanier, Smithson, McLure, Catalina, Crowley, Brown, Davis, Hazel, Pascal, Sprinkle, etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By definition, three of those guys aren't going to make the squad. Also, front offices do watch the final preseason games for guys who raise their eyebrows. A 41 yard INT TD return raises eyebrows. Combined with his play in the other games, I don't think JHC is as safe a cut as you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you care if someone doesn't? I get @MKnight82's position: if we submit him to the waiver process and someone picks him, will we really be that upset? If they don't claim him, we still keep him, provided he signs onto our practice squad. Note that proviso because it is not a guarantee. It makes the most sense for the player, but they are free to sign elsewhere if they prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the coaching staff/front office guys think that Sudfeld can develop into at least a backup QB, keeping him on the practice squad where you can keep an eye on (and help mold) his development makes a ton of sense. The cost is also significantly reduced. Finally it helps your overall roster to bolster in other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 We've invested a year , and a preseason and what a 6th round draft choice in this guy. He has some talent . He's big, his arm is strong and he can run . I saw him throw on the run last night. He can run the offense. Q B's are THE rare commodity. That's why I don't want to risk him walking away .. But so be it - what will be will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
