How in God's name is he eligible for a Practice Squad?!?!

New rule that allows each team to add two players who have accrued two years towards free agency to their practice squad.

 

So basically any third year player is practice squad eligible now. There is no limit on the amount of participation over the first two years.

This reminds me of TMD banging on about Heyward-bey last year and how smart the Colts were

@Rotoworld_FB: Stephen Hill lands on CAR's practice squad <a class="bbc_url" href='http://t.co/rIFY3xLN4B'>http://t.co/rIFY3xLN4B</a>

They're gonna have the best practice squad ever now.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Hilarious.

Wow! I had no idea they changed the eligibility requirements. I wonder what kind of contract he's under.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

They're gonna have the best practice squad ever now.

Any franchise that takes a low risk chance on a potential high reward player is making a smart move. 

 

Many won't work out like the above example, but so what? What is lost? Not much. 

 

And if you happen to hit with one of them, then you can find yourself a quality player for a fraction of the cost it usually would take.

Kinda like Caldwell did with Marks, Blackmon, and Ball.

Similar to, yes.

LOL, I'm not the one continuing to post jabs in the thread. Others are keeping this one going.

This.

Basic PS weekly pay of $6,300. $107,100 total if he is on the practice squad for the whole season.

 

That compared to $525,000 minimum salary for a player who has accrued two years like he has and is on a 53 man roster.

Well, someone here said he was probably entertaining multiple offers.  If this is the best he could secure, that says something.

Bet they wish they could reclamate that statement.

Only a chump boos the home team!

Probably someone regurgitating more mindless rants of his agent.

I'm sure they were until they realized offering a ham sandwich violated the CBA.

Maybe with combine stars/busts like Hayward bey or hill would have limited Allen Hurns reps and now we may have just cut a way more promising receiver to appease the fans who need some name recognition

Hill blames the New York media for his problems:

Hill, who is now on the Panthers’ practice squad, says his reputation for dropping passes was more a function of the media coverage of the Jets than an accurate reflection of the way he played.


“Well honestly that was New York Jets media that did that,” Hill said, via theCharlotte Observer. “If you really go back and look at it, there were guys at other facilities that dropped more than I did. As a receiver you’re going to drop passes. You’re going to catch footballs. Things like that happen; it’s just that the New York media – and honestly this is me talking – did all that. They can say what they want to say about me, but I really don’t care. I’m in a new place now. They tried their best to get me out of there.”


Hill is just 23 years old and is a phenomenal athlete, and he may still become an effective receiver in the NFL. But he’d be wise to stop blaming the media for his problems. Hill is gone from New York because the Jets decided he wasn’t good enough, not because of the media.

This kids attitude is something else.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Wait, what? Are you implying that thew New York media is not harder on it's players or over-exploits things (whether for right or for wrong)? He didn't say anything about the New York media that isn't true and isn't already known.

 

I've already showed facts. Stephen Hill only had one drop in 2013. That is not a typo. One. His career drop % is better than Cecil Shorts. Yes, Stephen Hill has struggled with drops but it's not nearly on the level that the media or some of you guys seem to believe.

 

 

The fact that you are condemning his attitude for stating the widely known truth about the New York media is proof for me that you will never give the kid a fair shake. If you think he is a bad WR, fine, but when you are reaching this far to make something out of nothing then you start showing unreasonable subjectivity.
