Or is the Taxi/Practice squad replacing the Developmental Squad (I'm guessing this is the correct interpretation here)... if this is the case, do the DS players automatically transfer to the TS (ie. grandfathered in, pending they still fit the req's?)? And will we be able to place one of our 2004 draftees on the PS, or does that only start from the 05 draft?

Just to add to Mike's comments, yes the current development squad would transform into the Taxi Squad, and all current members would gain the movement abilities the Taxi Squad affords. The Practice Squad would be a whole new addition, and my vision would be that only new 2005 draftees would be elligible, since I'm guessing not all teams have a 2004 4th rounder still on their roster, and allowing a backwards assinment would be unfair in that regard.
