Since he cleared waivers, any team can sign him for anything they can get him to agree to - including the league minimum with $0 guaranteed. WFT is on the hook for the rookie deal guarantees (if they can't manage to void any of them). Backup QBs get released all the time w/ years left on their...

I was just reading his earnings breakdown on Spotrac and Over The Cap. It's a little difficult to interpret exactly with all the short term contracts and practice squad stuff, but I think Spotrac is claiming he's getting $192,000 this year for the practice squad plus $61,000 every week he's...

They put Zane Gonzalez on IR. Looks like Nugent is getting another 1 week callup, for now.

He's on the Cardinals active roster today and so far hit 4/4 field goals and 2/2 XP.

Haskins would be better off switching places with Rosen - on a practice squad with 2 years of guaranteed rookie contract left, with offensive coaches and behind a 43 year-old QB with no successor.

I read somewhere that the veteran minimum is $12,000. New rules this year were required to even make this signing possible, since he lost eligibility for the old practice squad rules almost 15 years ago.

Cardinals signed him to their practice squad.

The Patriots are cutting K Mike Nugent, per sources.

They've brought in other kickers to try out every week he's been on the team and have had at least one on the practice squad. He's looked a little rocky but the fact they haven't replaced him yet plus a perfect game this week should buy him some more time.

I was just going around checking on the cuts and read an article that mentioned their rookie kicker has not practiced since being injured Aug 15, that he has no timetable to return and it is "very likely" Nugent has the job week 1. I'm surprised because I thought last year might be the end of...

His best case scenario was practice squad, already. Maybe that's still in play. He's 5th on the depth chart now and the #3 is going to make the cut and be active because he plays special teams. Maybe Savage gets cut and JT gets a practice squad invite.

Hmm. Ginn really revitalized his career in Carolina, though. TWICE. He had 1 good year, signed a bigger deal elsewhere to go back to his return specialist role and get no WR reps, came back to Carolina and put up big numbers again which helped him sign to play with Drew Brees. And Philly may not...

He signed with the Raiders AND they cut their starting K from last season. Looks like he has to beat out Rookie Eddy Pineiro (or I guess at least push him and mentor him for the rest of the pre-season). https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/raiders-mike-nugent-heading-to-oakland/

If I'm reading the NFL wage scale right, it would be something like 3 years at 480k/570k/660k and I believe it is prorated weekly over a 17 week season since players get paid for the bye week. The practice squad would be closer to 10k per week than 30ish, but teams technically can offer higher...

Yes, because the contracts are for the minimum and not guaranteed beyond any signing bonus (which could be nothing or a few grand for UDFAs). So there's no risk for the team. If the player makes the team and contributes he will get playing time bonuses from the NFL's performance pay fund but the...

Yep, they can waive/injured an injured player and if no one claims him he reverts to the injured reserve and gets paid his salary for the year. Usually it's a formality for season-ending injuries (shorter term injuries often get settlements and become free agents) but it made news when the...

Plus, he signed with the Bears a few days ago. So he'll get at least one more weekly pay check that's more than I make in a year (and I'm happy for him).

Yeah, this was always the plan. It was a temp job, and he did well - 1. In remaining one of the handful of kickers that stays on the tryout lists 2. In his actual performance on the field this year. Plus he accrued another NFL season and made close to 300 grand for a month of work, giving him a...

Report: Laurinaitis could become a free agent http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/11/15/report-laurinaitis-could-become-a-free-agent/

I think he was on the team 3 weeks and was a healthy inactive for every game. Time for the media career.
