From what I understood he is.

You have to be active for a certain number of games and have enough accrued seasons to not be eligible and I don't think he hit those milestones.

But I'm not 100% on that. I was unsure about Higgins too but lo and behold he's on there.

Anyone know for sure?

A player is eligible if he does not have an accrued season of NFL experience. Players gain an accrued season by being on the active roster for at least six games.

If a player has one accrued season, they can still be practice squad eligible if they were on the 45-man active gameday roster for less than nine regular season games.

A player is deemed to have served a season on the practice squad if he remains on the practice squad for at least three weeks. Players are eligible to be on the practice squad for two seasons.

Players can be eligible for a third practice squad season if their team maintains no less than 53 players on the active/inactive list at all times.

"A player is deemed to have served a season on the practice squad if he remains on the practice squad for at least three weeks."

He came here at the end of 2010 and I think it was less than 3 weeks(so 2010 would not count as a season).

We have 53 players and always seem to maintain that number so he should be eligible for a third season.

The only question I have is how many total games has he been active for.

Edit:
Nope I was wrong he came here at the beginning of 2010. Was he on the PS for all of 2011 and 2012?

Just read something where even Tanner was unsure if he was eligible.

I was hoping this dude would come to town and clean up.

I REALLY want a Richardson jersey.




FWIW, he's a very distant relative I think.

I'm bummed for Tanner, but our WR core is still strong
