Was Purcell getting released a contract deal? Usually when you’re released, you get signed to the practice squad but he’s in the 53 man roster now. Weird

It was a weird deal. They cut him so they could keep 2 players that they wanted to put on IR on the roster. The next day they sent them to IR and re-signed Purcell to his old deal.

The NFL rule is that if a player is put on IR before the final roster date they can't play all year. If they're put on IR after the final roster date they can come back in 4 weeks. The Broncos asked him and a TE to take one for the team.

Raptors are a Pro team out of Glendale in Denver. They are really more like semi-pro, very few, if any players in that league, make enough to live on.

Will be interesting to see how he does.
 
Still blows my mind how successful Tashaun has been in the NFL. I remember being pissed about him and his bro missing tackles.

Me too. I even thought his brother was better than Tashaun. But what do I know, I thought Epps was a good college safety but would never make it in the pros.
