Dukies in the NFL, 2017 season

Max McCaffrey was signed to the Saints practice squad. He looked to be having a fantastic preseason with the Packers... this must be really disappointing for him but I hope he gets his shot.

Guess this means he gets a trip to London:

It also means a hefty payday for him...the CBA requires that players promoted from the practice squad must be paid the minimum salary for at least 3 games (even if they don't stick on the active roster for that long). At this year's NFL minimum rate, that works out to a payday for Matt of at least $85,000ish. Not a bad rate for three weeks' work.
Good for Matt!

Our brethren, Ross Cockrell, had a (fine?) showing for the Gmen on MNF earlier this week. It's brutal watching the NYG on prime time after 10P or so (who keeps giving these guys national games?!), so I only saw bits and pieces, but I did see Cockrell get a PBU on a deep ball intended for Golladay. He had safety help, but still...

The Packers offensive line has been decimated this year, and a tackle went down on the first play from scrimmage...hate to see it happen but it paves the way for Lucas Patrick to take over. Hope he shows well!
