Another proposed rule that makes sense.

To me.. this one just makes too much sense in a sport such as this.. put them on the shelf until healthy, back fill their roster spot for depth and bring them back when healthy.

Quality of football.. post season football would increase if players can be brought back from injury during the season.

5. Adding an injured reserve exemption so that if a player was on the roster through the first regular season weekend, that player can be placed on injured reserve and designated for return, and then can return to practice six weeks later and play in a game eight weeks later, rather than having all players on injured reserve out for the season.

It would make sense, but so many teams would abuse this system that I don't think it should be allowed.

Edit: I thought the rule was shift them from IR to active at will... duh, I guess I should read the rule next time. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

This is a placeholder

I presume players would not count against their roster slots while on injured reserve?

Well obviously. What's the point of the designation if they count against the roster anyway.

It makes sense to be able to bring a player back. The one change I would like to see is to require the player to be on the roster for 2 or 3 weeks before going to IR. That would eliminate some of the desire to bend the rules.

So this is basically like baseball with the disabled list. Makes sense to me.

I just realized the proposed rule only allows one player to be designated for the IR. This strikes me as a really minor tweak. I would be more interested if it would apply to all the players on IR.

Personally, I'd rather see them just expand the game day roster.

Zero2Cool (3h) : GameDay Chat is open. Posting bits an tids in there.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Excellent Source: The Bears have a deal in place to move up to 5 if Jeanty is there.

dfosterf (7h) : I'm not assuming anything

beast (13h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (18h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (18h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (18h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (23-Apr) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (23-Apr) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
