Patrick Taylor wasn’t happy with how he was shunned by the Packers earlier this season. He’s back in Green Bay, though, and eager to help the Packers through some trying times.

They use his 3 PS elevations up, and let him continue to be on the PS. They need him again, so they sign him to the 53 man roster. Then after that one week, they released him, and refuse to re-sign him to the PS?

Why refusing to re-sign him to the PS?

They wanted to have a RB whom they could elevate from the PS... but Taylor is clearly more ready than RB Wilson. Taylor has been more helpful than the guy we replaced him with, whom is no longer on the roster. Taylor should of been allowed to be on the PS.

Sounds like a Belicheet loophole that would have been used by other teams. I had not seen other teams do this so I am a little skeptical.

In fact, if Taylor then had another 3 game day promotions, then why didn't the Packers re-sign him to the PS?

The best logic for not re-signing Taylor to the PS is that he was officially done with Packers game day promotions from the PS.

I have seen no examples given of the different PS loopholes, so until I see otherwise, I'm assuming that each team can elevate a player only 3 times per season. So Packers ran out of their 3 PS elevations for RB Patrick Taylor, and they can't do it with him again. Though maybe other teams each have 3 should he be on their PS.

Zero2Cool (21m) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (28m) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (33m) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (1h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (2h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (3h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (5h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (5h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (5h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (5h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (6h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (6h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (6h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (7h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (9h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (10h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (10h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (10h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (16h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (16h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (22h) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (22h) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (23h) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

Mucky Tundra (23h) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit

hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : PP.com updated. Reset Password works, and now User Profile pages are a thing

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : Soft hope plan is having fantasy football weekly on-site that i build. cannot do that with this setup.

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.
