Second player to be allowed to come off IR next season?

GiantBlue : 5/17/2017 8:27 am
Judy Battista @judybattista .

At league meeting next week, NFL owners will vote on proposal to allow a second player to come off IR in season. Likely to be approved.

This would be an excellent change if voted and approved.

Provides for more flexibility.

I think it would help the level of play overall. You could develop more players during the season and have more players for special teams so you dont have to use starters.

This new rule is a great start but as others have said, more would be better. The goal is to improve the game, having more specialty players would help improve the game.
Agree - good start

The IR for the year rule is one of the dumbest in sports. I understand the history to prevent 'roster stockpiling' but seriously a 4-8 or even 12 week 'disables list' would be much better options.

have no idea why there are inactives for each game. Why can't every player on the active roster dress? If a player is healthy enough to play, he should be able to dress
I agree Mook

and I agree with the others that they should go back to the old system when I was a kid of having a 4 week IR or something like that or even just limit it to a certain number of guys. This season ending thing is a joke. If you feel hording is starting(most likely by the Patriots) then just start using an independent league DR.

simple answer is money. owners don't want to pay extra players.

53 is 53 whether 46 dress or 53 dress, 53 are getting paid.

I never understood that, either, Mook.

Because there are a number of players in any given week who aren't healthy enough to play, but aren't injured enough to sit out 8 weeks or all season, and by having inactives, it ensures that both teams are on a level playing field.

This really isn't that complicated.
