Does anyone know if Peterman is PS eligible?

 

By reading he would fall in the third Bullet here. So yep seems he has PS eligibility 

 

 

In order to be eligible for the practice squad, players must meet one of the following requirements:

  • Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the NFL (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster);
  • Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 46-man active roster for no more than 8 games;
  • Each club will be permitted to sign a maximum of 4 Practice Squad players who have earned no more than 2 accrued seasons of free agency credit;
  • If served two seasons on a practice squad, are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment.
  • A player has served one season on the practice squad if he is on the practice squad for at least 6 games. The rule previously required 3 games on the practice squad roster.

MAJBobby - I get what you're laying down.

 

Looking at that link - of the teams who kept two - Texans, Eagles, Packers, Vikings, and 49ers all had QB changes during the season (just from memory - not looking this up).  Most of those teams who kept 2 also have a SOLID #1 (Russell Wilson, Jared Goff, Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, Phillip Rivers, Marcus Mariota, Joe Flacco, and Tom Brady).  13 of those 19 teams were totally set with their #1.  We are not there yet.  If one of those guys went down and we had to throw Allen in as #1 - we could end up scrambling to get a #2.

 

I think BB & SM are keeping 3 QBs for now.

He is.

If we put Peterman on the PS then any other team can sign him to their active roster.

 

We do that and we lose his value as trade piece.

Stock plummeting: Malachi Dupre, Robert Foster, Nick O'Leary

I think Croom is going into week 1 as the No 2 TE when it is all said and done. 

 

And Oleary is no where on this roster

 

My TE Ranking right now

 

Clay

Croom

Thomas

O’Leary

Lee 

Towbridge 

What makes you both think that O'Leary is in jeopardy?

Not the case. The Bills would then have the option to elevate him to the 53.

He is and has been bleeding reps for days now to the other TEs. This regime did not Draft him. That typically spells bad news for player

Theres no way peterman would go to the ps. Another team would sign him.

Ive gone from thinking aj will be the starter to thinking he may be released entirely. Hes only on a one year deal for starters. And if allen keeps coming on hes going to move up and they may not carry 3 this yr.

I thought the rule changed and it's up to the player to decide where he wants to go.

It comes down to me How far along Allen is. If Allen is clearly the No 2 by end of Preseason and say Peterman wins the job you can cut McCarron. 

 

It wont be hard to find a 3rd QB to hold the clipboard if you face an Injury. 

 

Also would need to put a developmental QB on the PS. 

 

Now if McCarron wins the Job then I do think it is more likelt they keep 3 going forward no matter how Well Allen has been. 

 

To me McCarron needs to win the QB1 to keep his job.

Nope. But he would have to clear waivers on the intitial realease And I dont this he does intitially.

Is there really much of a trade market for either AJM or Peterman though? AJM couldn't find many teams interested him while he was on the open market, and I'm not sure Peterman's tape will draw much in terms of compensation so far. 

 

An injury could change that equation, of course, and make a team desperate. But right now I don't think the Bills could flip either QB for very much of a return.

 

Maybe if AJM/Peterman lights it up in the first four weeks of the season... Until then? Not sure there's much to hope for in terms of trades.

I believe the rule changed in the last CBA.  There's no more option to protect practice squad players. 

 

From the CBA:

 

Quote

Any player under contract to a Club as a Practice Squad player shall be completely free to negotiate and sign a Player Contract with any Club at any time during the League Year, to serve as a player on any Club’s Active or Inactive List, and any Club is completely free to negotiate and sign such a Player Contract with such player, without penalty or restriction, including, but not limited to, Draft Choice Compensation between Clubs or First Refusal Rights of any kind, or any signing period, except that such player shall not be permitted to sign a Player Contract with another Club to serve as a Practice Squad player while under contract as a Practice Squad player.

Buffalo Bills training camp day 14: Josh Allen with second team (8 observations)

Pittsford, N.Y. -- Zay Jones was a full participant in practice for the first time all training camp Monday morning, and all signs point to him playing against the Cleveland Browns on Friday night.

 

Practice was closed to the public, but the Buffalo Bills still got after it for more than two hours at St. John Fisher College.

 

Jones' return, the quarterback shuffle and more in day 14 observations.

 

A.J. McCarron and Nathan Peterman practice

Josh Allen elevated to the second team

Zay Jones moving all over the place

Jones and Micah Hyde get into minor scuffle

Battle to watch: Matt Milano vs. Ramon Humber

Wide receiver updates

Injury updates

Marcus Murphy passing Travaris Cadet?

I would dump the likes of EJ and sign Peterman in a heartbeat if I were Jon Gruden.

If they do well in the games and the Bills put one of them on the block, I think some QB-needy team will snatch them up. 

 

The Broncos could use a better backup, for example. 

 

At this point, I think Allen is good enough to at least be 2nd string. Another vet in the mix just muddies the water.

 

Start Peterman/McCarron, trade the other, and have Allen waiting in the wings. As soon as the starter falters or gets injured, Allen steps in and doesn't look back until he's deemed "franchise" or "bust."

Yep.  This has changed.

What exactly do you expect the Bills to get if they trade Peterman or McCarron?

 

There is nothing wrong with carrying three QB's. All of which are on friendly salaries.

 

 

 

And through most of camp, the one player that has hit the radar is Croom. Now, would it be a shock if he doesn't make the team?
