Thanks to new rule Steelers may only keep 2 QBs on roster

[SteelerInLebanon]

I just read they have changed the 3rd QB rule again this year to allow a player on the practice squad to elevated to the emergency 3rd QB and to be done so an unlimited number of times. I think tis means most teams will carry only 2 QB's on the active roster as they can keep the third on the practice squad. This will save a valuable slot for another position.

Honestly, i have long argued a team should have 4 qbs under contract... its a ridiculously important position and teams skimp there all the time.... injuries are pretty commonplace...

Could that 3rd (or 4th) QB be poached by other teams like they can now if on the PS?

Whatever... three screws you on prep if your starter goes down...

If they sign them to the active roster, you can poach anyone.

Are the limited protected player numbers the same?
