No, they have 3 contract years to be on the TS, starting with the draft as year 1. They are not being gyped of a pre-season, or even an off-season for that matter:
Year 1 - DRAFTED, Pre-Season, Regular-Season
Year 2 - Pre-Season, Regular-Season
Year 3 - Pre-Season, Regular-Season
Your asking for a 4th pre-season, which is NOT what the THREE year Taxi-squad was designed to be for. It is for 3 CONTRACT years, max. You're asking for an additional 4-5 months INTO the 4th contract year, sorry, but shit or get off the pot on a player heading into his 4th year. The TS was NOT designed to be for 4-5 years, that is why we created the Practice Squad to allow deeper prospects time to develop.
