Steelers Practice Squad

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

51 players count against the cap during training camp.

Once the season has started, all players – whether on the 53-man roster, Injured Reserve (IR), Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) or the Practice Squad (PS) – count against the team's Salary Cap. The only players that do not count against the Salary Cap are players who are on one of the NFL exempt lists.

Thanks for the clarification!
 
Thanks Justin. All though I am curious if, IR/Waived players entire contract are counted, which is used on the cap? the original salary or the settlement?
 
Dammit. I like that Feeney kid. I wish he could make the squad.

Why Travis Feeney joined the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad


PITTSBURGH -- After less than a day on the NFL's open market, Pittsburgh Steelers sixth-round Draft pick Travis Feeney is rejoining the team as a practice squad player, per a source close to the situation.

Feeney received offers from other teams, but only to join their practice squads, the source said.

Waived injured I don't think count. That's a tough one to find. Do you have a specific example of a player that got waive/injured settlement that we know the amount?

You might be able to look back in time and see if they appear on our salary cap books:

We are signing David Cobb to PS apparently...
