From the home site and KFFL. Titus Adams was grabbed by the Giants and two new players were signed. http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl Giants | Team signs T. Adams to active roster Wed, 6 Dec 2006 12:18:55 -0800 Randy Lange, of the Bergen Record, reports the New York Giants signed DT Titus Adams (Jets) from the New York Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Dec. 6, and added him to the active roster. http://newyorkjets.com/news/articles/show_permalink/jets-sign-wr-thomas-de-adams-to-practice-squad Jets Sign WR Thomas, DE Adams to Practice Squad Published: 12-06-06 By Jets PR Department Regular Contributor The New York Jets announced they have signed wide receiver Sloan Thomas and defensive end Darrell Adams to the practice squad. The announcement was made by Jets? General Manager Mike Tannenbaum. Thomas, most recently on the Seattle Seahawks? practice squad, is in his second stint with the Jets this season. He appeared in one NFL regular season game for Tennessee in 2005 on special teams. The former University of Texas wide receiver was originally drafted by Houston in the seventh round of the 2004 draft. He is a native of Clarksville, TN. Adams, originally signed by the Jets as an undrafted free agent on May 12, went through training camp with the team before being waived Sept. 2. A native of Islip, NY, Adams was an all-conference defensive end at Villanova University.
i'm not very familiar with how the practice squad works, so excuse me if this is a stupid question. Do we get any type of compensation for the Giants signing Titus Adams from our practice squad?
No compensation because they signed him to their active roster. They could not just grab him and put him on their practice squad, that would be against the rules. From the CBA, Section 2. Signing With Other Clubs: Any player under contract to a Club as a practice squad player shall be completely free to negotiate and sign a Player Contract with any Club at any time during the League Year, to serve as a player on any Club?s Active or Inactive List, and any Club is completely free to negotiate and sign such a Player Contract with such player, without penalty or restriction, including, but not limited to, Draft Choice Compensation between Clubs or First Refusal Rights of any kind, or any signing period, except that such player shall not be permitted to sign a Player Contract with another Club to serve as a practice squad player while under contract as a practice squad player.
Second time in a couple of years the Giants have been fishing the Jets practice squad. They signed Derrick Ward a year or two ago, and now he's their kick returner. I liked Ward in TC a couple of summers ago. Mangini said in his press conference that they thought about bringing Adams up to the 53-man roster to block the Giants' move, but they wanted the flexibility to use their open spot with a pickup later this year.
They moved Wallace Wright up to replace Dwight. They must like Sloan Thomas though since they brought him back.
