Also, by limiting this to the fourth round are we concerned that we are adding too much value to the 4th rounders? Last year there were 48 players off the board before the 4th round started.

First off, Brian, I cleaned up some of the text in the 1st post to make the language consistent to what's being discussed (cutting and pasting missed some edits of the DS/TS/PS terminology... I believe it now reads the way you intended it to).
I have no issues with the Taxi Squad proposal as it sits on the table, personally I think an 8 week max on the demotion pay increase is OK, but the Swords suggestion of becoming a permenant member of the active roster after 8 weeks may have some merit.
As for the Practice Squad... I'm not sure where I stand on this issue, part of me likes it, and part of me thinks we're going to leave too much potential on the table for steals that can be locked up under contract for a LONG time. If this were to fly, I'd favor a 2 player max, and agree with Brian on limiting it to 4th rounders only, and only 1 per season. Further, I'd put a 3 year contract max on those players... at least that's what I'm thinking at the moment...
