PITTSBURGH -- Demarcus Ayers, Travis Feeney and Caushaud Lyons are Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad candidates, according to sources close to their situations.

All three were cut by the team earlier Saturday ahead of the NFL's 4 p.m. 53-man roster deadline. Rosters are frozen until noon tomorrow, at which point waiver claims will be processed as they and any other released players can be signed around the league.

Still hope for your boy Ayers down the line Coolie. Cannot deny the fact he has elusiveness and has another gear that his 40 time doesn't indicate. Hope to see him on a Steelers 53 roster soon

 

[Black&GoldenShowers]

The Steelers have agreed to terms with 10 players for the team's practice squad, it was announced today.

The players include running backs Brandon Brown-Dukes and Cameron Stingily, wide receivers Demarcus Ayers and Cobi Hamilton, tight end Rashaun Allen, offensive tackle Matt Feiler, defensive end Caushaud Lyons, defensive tackle Johnny Maxey, cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz and linebacker Travis Feeney.

Two running backs is the only surprise for me.

Really? The way they go through RBs....

 

[thesteelcity]

wonder where Grant went to. . .

 

[Steelerfan81]

Golson is still going to IR at some point. Grant may be waiting to be resigned once they make that move.

that makes sense

When one of those running backs is Cameron Stingily, yes. Nothing against him personally, but he just isn't an NFL-caliber player.

 

[Steel Ballin]

No PS QB?

I'd be good with that!

 

[Black&GoldenShowers]

I was expecting to see Doran Grant on the PS. I wonder if he was offered a spot? I didnt see him picked up by any other teams yet.

 

[Black&GoldenShowers]

Golson is still going to IR at some point. Grant may be waiting to be resigned once they make that move.

Well that would answer my question...

So,tell me guys,what type of $$$$$ do these guys sign for? And does it count against the cap?

I know it doesn't count but no idea how much they earn

they make a minimum of $7K a week. Don't know about the cap specifics.

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

No PS QB?

Why?

They're carrying three on the regular roster.

I believe they make between 55k and 75k on the practice squad.

 

[Stryker]

PS players do not count against the cap

 

[deljzc]

Yes it does. Practice squad per-diem (they get paid on a week-to-week basis) count on the salary cap.

I'm confused Del, I thought all PS players fall beneath the 51 player cutoff?

 

[Ike Kelly]

Del, Cope is correct, cap counts the Top 51 contracts.
