Hockey5djh Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm always curious how some rules are skirted in the NFL. How is Sidney Jones eligible for the NFI or Non-Football injury list, I guess they're counting a pro-day for the NFL as a "workout"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFI is defined literally as injuries sustained outside of football... but in practice it means injuries sustained outside of NFL football. So if you are hurt in college, you can be designated in the NFL with a non-football injury. Willis McGahee spent his whole rookie year on NFI after his injury in college.

Phire Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 But I'm not exactly sure what the difference between NFI and PUP are, but I'm guessing there are some short-term/long-term consequences or implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure the differences is that the PUP and NFI are the same pretty much, they can go to meetings, lift-train at the facilities and use the medical facilities, but with the NFI you don't have to pay them there entire salary, the team declares it wasn't responsible for that players injury and if he doesn't come back from that injury, they dont have to pay them there entire salary with out any cap punishment or legal punishment.

Bednarik60 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Example when when Plexico shot him self, i think the Giants said they were only going to pay him 1/4 of his salary if he didn't come back by a certain time and when he didn't the NFL backed the Giants and deemed that him bringing the gun into the club "hindered" him to get to practicing and the requirements the team had for him to meet his contract.

Bednarik60 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 So basically if Jones doesn't come back and cost us a roster spot this year, they aren't going to pay him his full salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yeah, that makes sense: Quote The non-football injury list is (again obviously) for players who suffered an injury away from the field that is keeping them from practicing with the team at the start of training camp. The rules are similar to the PUP list with one notable exception: The team has the option of not paying the NFI player’s base salary during the regular season (though it often works out some sort of deal to pay some or all of the player’s salary).

Bednarik60 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I think in some cases they do pay guys the full salary even if he doesn't come back to, if they are working there butt off. Willis McGahee was paid his full salary his rookie year(remember the Fiesta Bowl knee injury? worst) cause he did everything he could to come back, just to brutal of a injury and he just ran out of time/needed more time to heal so i believe they rewarded him for his effort despite not making it on the field.
