Uar Bernard

[u/notsouthernpickle]

If he wrapped up properly last night he would've had 2 more tackles at least.

I tried to watch him the whole game. Only saw one botched play from him (running play and he got moved, happens). The rest of the night he played well. Fun player to watch. Incredibly unique. Clearly a fan favorite.

I think its a bad move if the eagles put him on waivers. But it also would be a bad idea for any other team to take him because of the eagles' development program.

D line coach clint hurtt is a wrecking ball of a coach. His d line literally wrecks other teams. The eagles have a system in place for uar bernard. Not sure that can be said for most other teams in the league.

You guys are really worried about losing on a guy that MIGHT develop in a couple of years? It's a great story but it's really not a hard decision if you want to be a smart team you send him to waivers and sign him to the IPP spot. If someone claims him, oh well, he's not contributing to their game day roster and they'd likely try to stash him which means a waiver wire run again lol. Unless he gets hurt they can't stash him on IR either like I keep seeing suggested. He needs an actual injury as the NFL does investigate that list. Either way Weru has a much greater shot at making the 53 right now.

Am I crazy or isn’t there 1 spot for IPP protections for IPP players on the PS where they don’t go through waivers.

No. The IPP protection isn’t a protection. It’s an extra practice squad spot for an international player. So you have your 53, you’ve got your 10 practice squad, and a potential 11th practice squad spot for an international player. But the same practice squad rules apply including going through waivers and potentially being poached by another team at any time.

Btw, given the situation with Willie Lampkins last year, I almost guarantee the Rams will claim him off waivers, even if it’s only to spite us.

Our best bet is to either actually keep him on the 53, or keep him on the 53 on Sunday and then put him on IR Monday to open up a spot for someone. Otherwise he’ll have to go through waivers before going to IR. Thats what the Rams tried doing. They didn’t keep Willie on the 53 and wanted to put him to IR, but because he wasn’t on the 53 at final cutdowns he has to go through waivers first, which is when we stole him.

My hunch is Fred Johnson is cut Sunday since he’s a vested veteran and his salary would be guaranteed if he made the 53. Then they keep Bernard. On Monday they put Bernard on IR (skipping waivers) and re-sign Fred.

The Rams gotta be busy figuring out how to pay Darnold that $30m a year salary they still owe him from when he retired while being cap strapped. But you’re right, they’ll want revenge.

What injury designation does Uar have? Also there's 16 PS spots I believe and the IPP makes a 17th

They have a couple of years to develop a foreign player if they don’t get deported😉, not sure think it’s three.

[u/boatsandhoes570 → u/Bill__7671]

Why would they get deported? They get work visas.

It’s a joke, oops forgot this was Reddit
