Kerwynn Williams signed to Practice Squad

[BlueShoe]

Just got the info on the Colts App.

 

I think Cunningham will join him if he clears waivers tomorrow. Probably means goodbye to Jones.

[Andy]

There we go!

 

Very happy to see he signed with them! The kid has potential.

[Gavin]

good place for him

I would like to see Cunningham get the chance in BLUE also.

[Andy]

This squad has quite the potential, Adongo, Rogers and now Williams. Half that squad could be starters in a few years if they reach their potential.

[BronxColtNYC]

He'll make the squad next year with DB departure. Good stuff

[PrincetonTiger]

he could be on the roster this year if Reed doesn't pan out.

It is good use of the practice squad. We have players that need to fine tune skills, and at least in one case learn what it takes to be a pro. 

[Bluefire4]

How many people are allowed on the practice squad? I thought it was 7?

Adongo, what a story if he makes it to a game roster. He'll have many choices for who writes his book. I didn't want to see K. Williams in another uniform.

8

8, But if Adongo gets roster exemption (I beieve he does) then 9

[CanuckColt]

The PS is getting crowded with real football players...

Dong-O is becoming more expendable with each addition.

[BronxColtNYC]

This amazing depth makes me want to cry.

What exactly is the practice squad?

 

A group of players that can partake in training but cannot play in actual games?

[CanuckColt]

Yeah, but it is all potential...not much we can use immediately.

[krunk]

I figured Williams would be kept on the PS.  Exactly as I thought

[BronxColtNYC]

Being a colts fan my 23 years on this earth, depth was always an issue. Seems we are turning the corner.

[throwing BBZ]

Williams has a few moves, leave him alone NFL!!! :slapfight:

[krunk]

Now we can either keep Dominique Jones as our reserve tight end or replace him with someone better.  I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced him with Justice Cunningham though.  I think they are interested in developing him.

 

 

We'll see!  Dominique is always on the chopping block.

 

 

I think we can develop Sheldon Price, but I wouldnt be surprised if they bought in a better talent than him as well.

[BOTT]

Yeah, but it is all potential...not much we can use immediately.

Then you missed the point of signing Adongo

[TKnight24]

All these moves. The forum is gonna explode with all these new threads every 10mins seems like

Go Grigson Go!!!

[Coltswarriors]

With this addition we're now at the max number for PS.

 

PS is now at 8 (max number): QB Chandler Harnish, OL Thomas Austin, RB Kerwynn Williams, LB Daniel Adongo, TE Dominique Jones, LB Josh McNary, WR Da'Rick Rogers, CB Sheldon Price.

 

I could very well see us releasing Dominique Jones & signing Justice Cunningham to PS.

Yup.  You'll see them on the sidelines during games (if you recognize them).  They'll be dressed in street clothes.   On the flipside of that, out of the 53 players on the active roster, only 46 are allowed to be active on gameday.  

 

PS players are compensated every week they are on the Practice squad (min they can make is $6000 per week), and if another team wants to take one of our guys, they will be automatically signed to that team's active roster for at least 3 weeks.

In my opinion allen chapman was more deserving of a spot on the ps, not sheldon price... a little off subject but he definitely showed more in the preseason anyways

Which backup Cb Guarded opposing "1s"?

vaughn and gordy played a lot when vontae and gt weren't playing. I think they even moved butler outside also. I thought chap looked good whenever he was in. Should have had a longer look I think..

[Bluefire4]

Awesome, so we could keep Justice and Dominique Jones if we want.

[Dark Superman]

Let's hope he makes the best of this second chance.

Awesome.

 

Thanks for the info.

[lollygagger8]

Now let's hope nobody steals him from our practice squad! 

[NewEra]

Ps question. I know another team can sign our ps players to their roster. Now, can that player refuse? And or do we have a chance to match, sign to our roster if we wanted to keep the guy?

[crazycolt1]

Me too, but he is still subject to signing with another team if they think he can play now.

[crazycolt1]

I could very well see us releasing Dominique Jones & signing Justice Cunningham to PS.

From what I understand Adongo is exempt from counting towards 8 players. I will try to find out for sure.

According to the NFL collective bargaining agreement Article 33 section b one player is exempt if he is not a US citizen or has a different residence. He is subject to the same rules as any other player on the PS except he is not allowed to sign a contract with another NFL team. It also states the exempt player can stay on the PS 3 years after his initial year. So it looks like the Colts have 4 years to teach Adongo if they chose to without another team signing him. 

[ZurkleColtsStrong]

So glad he is on the practice squad. I see a great future for him when DB is gone.
