The Steelers practice squad

This is their first signing

 

$13,000 a week / $234,000 for 18 weeks. I wouldn't have minded being on the practice squad.

 

@S.T.D Your guy Hurleman made it back

 

Glad Beanie Bishop is back. I was disappointed we cut him

 

Yeah, we apparently really like this Kent kid. Overall, the list of players on the practice squad looks good. Nichols, Sermon, Bishop, Leal, Woods... all guys that could hop onto the 53 seamlessly. There are a few younger guys to get excited about too in Hurleman, Williams, Galbreath, etc. Try to develop these guys and see if any of them can stick in the future.

 

@TerribleTowelFlying needs to have a practice squad for this board.

 

It's better than not getting a check at all (and really good money compared to people with more traditional jobs), but the salary of the roster is a lot better... especially for vets like DeMarvin Leal, Robert Woods, etc.

• Rookie (0 Years): $840,000
• 1 Year: $960,000
• 2 Years: $1.03 million
• 3 Years: $1.1 million
• 4-6 Years: $1.17 million
• 7+ Years: $1.255 million

 

now if teams don't poach these guys.

 

Glad Sermon is back, he will see action this year.

 

I'm glad to see Lew Nichols made the practice squad he ran his butt off for us in the pre-season.

 

Good for Beanie

Maybe next year

Good to have him around if there are injuries this year

 

Meh

If they poach them they have to put them on the 53

If they wanted to do that they could have claimed them off waivers

Maybe if a team has injuries during the season and need backup depth

 

I'm still wondering about what their doing with 4 QB'S. I thought Howard would be on IR today or that Skylar would be traded.
