Basically the practice squad players are FAs that can sign onto any team's 53 man roster.

The differences between them and FAs are

1) They get to practice and be coached up
2) They're getting paid a little bit
3) They can't sign unto other teams practice squads if they're current signed on a practice squad

Temper the rejoicing, folks. Players on the practice squad are free agents and can be signed by any team at any time -- without compensation to the Packers. Purely as a courtesy, players sometimes give their teams a chance to match any offers they receive, but they are under no obligation to do so. Any or all of those players could be gone before the weekend's out.

The only player I am worried about is Graham Harrell. I could definitely see another team making him an offer this season. I don't want to lose him the year before Matt Flynn is probably going to leave. If another team were to make overtures for Harrell, Ted Thompson would probably make an effort to sign him to the 53-man roster, but Harrell would have to notify him of the development first. As I said before, no player is required to notify their current team about offers they receive.

Why should we temper the rejoicing? We wanted to keep more of our guys and 31 other teams took a pass on them (for now). That's something to be happy about, and as fans we can and will rejoice in things that we think are good things happening to our team.

Last year they took a ton of the Packers cut players, this year they didn't... and it sounded like the Patriots wanted to keep a couple of guys on the practice squad and couldn't because they were claimed by division rivals. So I'm happy our guys that we wanted aren't yet on another team.

Also getting both west and Gurley back ups the chances one of them makes it to the end of the season with the Packers as now two times someone has to come looking for Packers WRs... and they already took one pass on them...

The difference between the glass is "half full" and "half empty" guys. They both make it interesting.

So, umm, arguing over semantics and misquoting someone while aiming to start an argument ... typically results in confusion.

Some scenarios I've seen with the Packers.
- Packers hear that a team is interested in one of their practice squad players, so they cut a guy and bring said player onto their active 53 before the other team has a chance.
- Team approaches Packers practice squad player, agent notifies Packers to see if they will active said player.
- Team signs player off Packers practice squad without notifying the Packers until after the fact.

Therefore, in my experience and understanding of what has happened in the past, if a team WANTS a Packers practice squad player, all they need to do is sign'em to their active 53 and he's gone.

On a site note, I deal daily with a 10 year old girl who's overly technical and I come here and get to deal with it to. How. Flippin. AWESOME!

Despite the fact that teams can sign players off the practice squad, history shows that it rarely happens. Its not like all of these guys are going to be snatched up in a few weeks, sure a few could potentially be gone by the end of the season, but the fact is; its good that they managed to sign as many of these guys as they did.

I'm just not able to share the enthusiasm about players being on the practice squad. That is all.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Clifford hasn't been the same since losing 8

dfosterf (7h) : Sean Clifford would probably disagree

dfosterf (7h) : Canuck Cannon. Got a very good feeling about this

Zero2Cool (7h) : Tom Pelissero also reports what bboy stated

bboystyle (7h) : The Green Bay Packers on Monday signed Taylor Elgersma, the Canadian-born quarterback who tried out at the team’s rookie camp last weekend

beast (8h) : There were reports four days ago that the Packers were signing QB Taylor Elgersma, but no official action since

Zero2Cool (10h) : And for Ian Rapoport to announce Saints send 1st and 2nd rounder to Packers for Malik Willis.

dfosterf (10h) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (10h) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

Zero2Cool (11-May) : It wasn't. He simply wanted his money back. They refused. Cops came. They gave him his money in end.

dfosterf (11-May) : Fortunately it doesn't sound like a big deal

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Elgton Jenkins Involved In Strip Club Dispute ... Cops Called To Mitigate

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Derek Carr retires. Shoulder must be bad.

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Packers Pro Shop is not currently printing Golden #22 jerseys “until his number is confirmed after Training Camp.”

greengold (9-May) : My impression is he's a Peruvian soccer fan not a bares fan.

Martha Careful (9-May) : Favored Illinois Bishop?

beast (9-May) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?

dfosterf (8-May) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are

Martha Careful (8-May) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback

wpr (8-May) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (8-May) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (7-May) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Zero2Cool (5-May) : Cardinals have signed TE Josiah Deguara.

Zero2Cool (5-May) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
