(2008-10-02)



The Dallas Cowboys signed former Oklahoma receiver Travis Wilson to the practice squad today.

Wilson replaces Mike Jefferson, who was suspended for four games by the NFL for violating the NFL’s steriod policy for taking a banned supplement.

Wilson was a third-round draft pick (78th overall) in 2006 by the Cleveland Browns. He played in four games with one start in his two years with the Browns, recording two catches for 32 yards.

He was released by Cleveland on the final roster reduction in 2008 and signed to the Denver Broncos practice squad Sept. 3. He was released by the Broncos on Sept.. 23.

Wonder if he still has the same attitude when we drafted him.

I'm sure he's happy to be on SOMEBODY's team. But I'm pretty sure he won't ever break the 53 man roster in Dallas.

I didn't think that he was eligible for the practice squad.

Color me surprised.

Just a tackling dummy....

they also picked up former brown Justin Sandy

Wow his 3rd team this year. Guess it beats packing groceries.

Who is injured there that they need insurance???

The best WR in the draft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch him take off like a Titan V missile,.....

Wouldn't surprise me.

ARTICLE XXXIV




PRACTICE SQUADS

Section 4. Eligibility:
(a) The practice squad shall consist of the following players, provided that they have not served more than two previous seasons on a Practice Squad:

(i) players who do not have an Accrued Season of NFL experience; and

(ii) free agent players who were on the Active List for fewer than nine regular season games during their only Accrued Season(s).

An otherwise eligible player may be a practice squad player for a third season only if the Club by which he is employed that season has at least 53 players on its Active/Inactive List during the entire period of his employment.

(b) A player shall be deemed to have served on a Practice Squad in a season if he has passed the club’s physical and been a member of the club’s Practice Squad for at least three regular season or postseason games during his first two Practice Squad seasons, and for at least one regular season or postseason game during his third Practice Squad season. (A bye week counts as a game provided that the player is not terminated until after the regular season or postseason weekend in question.)


NFL Players Associaton

...and if the moon is full twice in the same month the player is not eligible to be on the practice squad for the next game...


What is the Other team that TW was on this year? I missed that.

it was the browncos, of course.

Their WR talent pool is pretty minimal actually.

Their top 4 is TO, Crayton, Miles Austin and Isaiah Stanbeck. They need SOME additional talent at WR. Austin and Stanbeck arent very good. Why not give the kid a shot I guess...he had potential.

Plus, Jerry Jones would like nothing more than to make a silk purse out of what we thought was a sows ear, if only to get even with us for taking his #22 first round pick one year for our #22 pick the next.

I'm happy for the guy...

His parents visited the North Texas Browns Backers at the Fox and Hound last year, and was able to get a football autographed by some browns players (Josh Cribbs, being most notable) that was raffled off. The raffle money went to feed 2 or 3 families during the holidays.

He is from the Dallas area, so he might of asked to be on the Cowboys...
