swede700 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Supposedly there's now a bidding war for Zach Davidson...(not really because they can't pay them anymore money, but they potentially could offer a better opportunity) Edited September 1, 2021 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players signed have to wait a few days before joining the team don't they? I wonder how comfortable they would be with just Conklin having been here. Unless they send Dillon to the practice squad and call him up for the first game or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was a quarantine period yet or are they not doing that this year? Edit: or are they good as long as they are vaccinated?

Edit: or are they good as long as they are vaccinated? I didn't think about it from that perspective...I don't know that as I'm not well-versed in what those protocols are.

SemperFeist Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Honestly, a player like AJ Rose can feel slighted about being cut. But not Davidson. If he didn’t want to get cut he should have played better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams aren't forced to pay practice squad players a certain amount. However, I didn't see anything out of Davidson that would get me to pay him more than the minimum. I'm very happy to have Ben Ellefson on the team instead. Edited September 1, 2021 by Cearbhall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: or are they good as long as they are vaccinated? The entry protocol for unvaccinated players is five days of negative tests. For vaccinated players, it is just a single negative test iirc. It is another example of the league segregating vaccinated and unvaccinated players in a way that doesn't really make sense. It does make it far more likely that a team that needs a player quickly will be looking only to sign vaccinated players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
