I like Taylor. They simply can't keep everyone. If they had a roster with 100 players someone would still be on the outside looking in. I figure he will get 10-12 carries on Thursday. 40 yards.

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.
