Are Practice Squad players elgible for contract renegotiation? I wouldn't think so, in the spirit of the rules, but I would like to discuss it.
I feel that the practice squad is for longshots with a limited window (up to 5 years) with their rookie contract. The Taxi Squad has restrictions with years on taxi(0-3 NFL experience) as well as a years cap restriction as a group (20 years) so it is clear that membership is well defined but the practice squad is a little vague. Only elgible if drafted by that owner, only in 5th or 6th round with limit of yearly additions (2 max) and overall members (6). Also once promoted no return allowed.
I have a player that I would reneg if I could if the only cost to me would be the 300 cb's. Years are not restricted on practice squad. Now if he gets promoted the years would count against either Active or Taxi squad limits but while he sits on Practice Squad no limits.
When I signed DBowers I knew he had a serious knee issue BUT he also had a ton of talent. I gave him a low year salary because I was tight in Active squad years with all my renegs after taking over Mutts squad and wanted to have room in case he was needed. This year he looked very good in preseason but tore up his leg (nonrelated injury) and landed on IR before the season started. Now here he is, though limited, trying to play the end of this season.
I'm thinking if I reneg I have to promote him to at least Taxi and have room for his new total years and NFL elgibility there but it's not clear. If I can reneg and leave him on practice I will, what do you guys think?
