number 3 qb

I like Hasselbeck as well. As for Gibran, is there any rule as to how many times you can put someone on the practice squad? Like there is in baseball where you can only send a player down to the minors so many times

My understanding is you can keep only a handfull(like 5 I think) of players on the practice squad, that are signed. Almost aways 1 is a QB. The rest while they play for your practice squad can be picked up by other teams.

Here's the practice squad eligibility requirements from the CBA:

Section 4. Eligibility:

(a) The practice squad shall consist of the following players, provided that they have not served more than one previous season 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). No player may be a practice squad player for more than two seasons.

The practice squad was also expanded to 8 players this season-- which I'm sure made Joe Gibbs ecstatic with the idea of being able to groom 3 extra players without counting them on the active roster.

I suspect Hamdan will return to the practice squad for one more year-- though Hasselbeck looked really bad at the last minicamp, so I don't know. If Hasselbeck doesn't look better in this week's minicamp, they may start looking for another veteran #3 QB to take his place.

Hasselback does not seem like a Gibbs kind of guy to me. For the sake of his size and ability, I hope he lands in a west coast offense.
