What are the rules regarding signing players off the practice squads of other teams?

It is all that it takes. If any team offers a spot on their 53, they are gone. Yes, the agent and player can let the Packers activate them to their roster before accepting, but that is all it takes.

If say the Dolphins want toactivate Graham Harrell on their 53 roster, he's gone, unless he refuses or the Packers activate him to their roster first.

Plus the "unless the Packers activate him to their roster first" is stating what I said--"If we can find a way to put him on our 53 man we can keep him"--in a different way.

So ummm. I'm confused.

Section 2. Signing With Other Clubs:

(a) Any player under contract to a Club as a Practice Squad player shall be completely free to negotiate and sign a Player Contract with any Club at any time during the League Year, to serve as a player on any Club’s Active or Inactive List, and any Club is completely free to negotiate and sign such a Player Contract with such player, without penalty or restriction, including, but not limited to, Draft Choice Compensation between Clubs or First Refusal Rights of any kind, or any signing period, except that such player shall not be permitted to sign a Player Contract with another Club to serve as a Practice Squad player while under contract as a Practice Squad player.

(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above, a Practice Squad player may not sign an NFL Player Contract with his Club’s next opponent later than 4:00pm, New York time, on the sixth day preceding the game (except in bye weeks, when the prohibition commences on the tenth day preceding the game). When the current employer club has a bye the weekend before the game against the Club signing the Practice Squad player to an NFL Player Contract, such contract must be executed prior to 4:00pm, New York time, on the 10th day preceding the game.
