The logic given for that is that both have such a steep learning curve that repetitions will benefit them only a little bit. I call it the tabula rasa argument, and I’m not sure that I buy it … but it can’t be fully discounted.Realistically, both can probably be exposed to cuts as if another team claims one of them it has to be from waivers at cut down. That means they would take up space on the other team’s roster as PS signings are voluntary. I could see the Eagles keeping whichever they think shows the best potential from a learning perspective. The other, they will risk to try and get to the IPP PS spot. Best, IMHO, for both to not IR, if possible, so they can practice. That said, other than position drills, they pretty much will be limited to the developmental period.

Then you get drafted in the 1st round, and the commissioner says, "The Saints were about to take you, but they really needed linebacker help. So congratulations, you’re British.”I could see a lot of Eli Manning situations stemming from thatI think this is a fair concern and most certainly would inevitably happen if the NFL has teams that are on other continents. Just playing a little devil’s advocate but players get drafted cross country all the time and traveling across the country from the northeast takes roughly the same time or less to fly to London. Also - I can’t see a team based out of Europe existing and not having a home base in the states. They’d probably play 2-4 games at a time in the states so there will be a city they call home when they’re state side.

Both flashed during the last game, that was pretty much the highest bar either needed to clear.(assuming they’re doing the right things in practice, etc. which it seems like they’re doing)
August 19Aug 19 Seems like Greenard has a grade 2 strain, which could be up to 8 weeks. If it was a grade 1 he'd surely be back before the season.
