If you are on a practice squad you are still a free agent. Anyone can sign you at any time.

Unless they have you signed at more than the minimum Practice Squad salary of $88,000.00(?) ......the other team must pay you more money to claim you.....

I believe the league minimum salary is around $280K (for a spot on the 53-man roster), so getting paid more seems to be a given.

but, it looks like the practice squad is still a little dicey, week-to-week thing. I keep seeing practice squad guys' contracts being terminated every few days. at least he has his foot in the door.

he was invited to a work-out with about 8 other guys last week -- nothing more came of that.

I'm glad to see him as a falcon. I hope to see him on the field soon. When I saw Reggie Bush get hurt last night, I was thinking that New Orleans may look at him because of his pass catching ability.
Those who complain about a problem are simply wasting time they could use to fix it.

Potential is nothing, performance is everything.

Hope he picks up the Atlanta offense quickly and gets a chance to stick around.
Good luck, Shawnbrey!
