Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 As Byrdless training camp draws to a close, I have a question about NFL rules regarding a franchised but unsigned player and the 53 man roster. Do they take up a roster spot? Or is it the same as any other yet-to -be-signed or PUP player, the team fills the 53 man without him then must cut someone to make a spot if/when he returns?

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I believe that teams can still apply and receive roster exemptions for players who initially did not report: http://blogs.nfl.com/2011/09/03/titans-given-roster-exemption-for-chris-johnson/ I could be wrong.
