I know we were actually at 54 players with Ruud and Vilma on the UPUP, right?...did we have to cut anyone or do we still have some kind of exemption?

Last I heard yesterday, they were officially at 50 because of the exemptions and placing Marcel Jones on IR. I have no idea what they are at now. My guess is 52.

I had a good feeling AA was coming back seeing as though his locker was never emptied.

I can't keep track of all of this shite anymore.

I think there's a good chance that Hicks and Arrington are active on Sunday.

if ya wondering what was up with the AA detour... his full year salary would have been guaranteed if he would have started the year on the 53. Anyone signed after the start of the season is only owed what they play. If they cut him again in a month he'll only get pay for that time. His $540K works out to a little below $32K a week pay.

PUP means if Vilma can return, 5 more weeks will be the earliest he could. At that time they have 3 weeks to decide whether to 53 him or IR him.

he has been claimed off the practice squad to be on other teams 53 but has turned them down to stay here. They have paid him much higher than required for PS too (when he was eligible). That's part of what Vitt referred to about him "having some pelts on the wall".

I'm tired as anyone of waiting for results, let's hope he can step up like others from years backing up.

Disappointed I'm missing the next 4 games on PUP... but no superbowl was ever won by wk 6 of the season
#whodat

So does being on the PUP mean 6 weeks or 6 games? Because he's already missed the first game, so then he'd be back right after the BYe?

right after the bye is correct, the rule is the first 6 weeks of the season, not games. He's actually wrong in his tweet (next 4 games)
