I know any team can sign a player on any PS roster.

I also know The player has the option to stay or go and the team who currently owns the player has the option to sign that player to their 53 man roster to keep him.

With The Packers having an abundant of talent at the wr position my ? is this after a player clears waivers Can Ted sign a guy( say Chastin West ) to a 2 or 3 year contract and then put him on the practice squad?

Thus making it a little harder of a decision for a team to pluck that player off The Packers PS.

I think I remeber something like this happening last year but am not sure, just wondering if anyone has an answer.

I don't think so. Either you are on the roster or not. I am not going to limited it to 53 as there can also be players on the IR.
I doubt that the PS players have more than a "1 year" contract.

They can "over pay" a PS player.


Practice squad players practice alongside regular roster players during the week, but they are not allowed to play in actual games. They can be paid considerably less than active squad players: The minimum salary from 2008 to 2010 is $5,200 per week (2008-2010)[1] for 17 weeks, or $88,400 per season, in comparison to the NFL minimum rookie salary of $285,000. Some practice squad players are paid considerably more, however. In 2006, the New England Patriots paid third-year player Billy Yates the full $425,000 he would have earned on the active roster.[2]

A player on the practice squad is not under contract; he is considered a free agent. He is free to sign with any team at any time, without compensation to the team on whose practice squad he plays. The team can pay him whatever it wants, although the minimum is a little over $80,000. At the conclusion of the season, a team can sign a player to a Reserve/Future contract, but that is only good until the next training camp, as far as I know. Basically, it is a way of signing a player early to the 80-man roster.

To answer the contract term question specifically.. saved linking all the contract language drivel.

The PS contract (see above) terminates after the clubs last game..

Actually it works just the opposite.. if a team is trying to coax a player of a PS.. they generally offer a contract of a extended length.. most of the time under the 4 year limit so that they can control said player for his next contract on the restricted terminology.

Granted those contracts are not guaranteed either.. so it really is an illusion of a sort playing on the players sense of comfort. IMO.
