4th round is usually a push but plenty of 5th, 6th and 7th rounders get cut and put on PS or sign to another PS.

Looking at the Jets 2015 class as a quick example (because we got a player from them so it's an easy one)

Jalen Saunders (4th rounder): Cut in september of rookie season

Jeremiah George (5th rounder): Cut and placed on PS during rookie offseason, signed to Jaguars

Brandon Dixon (6th rounder): Cut during rookie offseason, signed to Tampa Bay's PS.

Quincy Enunwa (6th rounder): Cut and placed on PS during rookie offseason.

Tajh Boyd (6th rounder): Cut during rookie offseason.

That's just a small example but plenty of teams cut players during rookie offseason. Fourth rounders are rare but it does happen.

We have access to do so, but I think someone noted they can't be shared.
Gamers got to put some of their own elbow grease into improving their CFM experience!!!

Just need clarification if this is before or after the Draft.
Just having the ability is what we wanted though, so it's a win either way in my books.

I wonder if team roster export made it in. This allow you to scrimmage with your CFM team outside the online franchise mode.

Really hope so, used to love doing a fantasy draft with someone and then exporting the teams and playing them whenever we wanted.

This was the information I was waiting for. Thank you, EA - preordered on Amazon a minute ago. A big Bart Scott "Can't wait!"

Still no weekly wrap up show?

If that doesn't happen, then not many people are going to risk extremely athletic, freakish, or potentially high-ceiling young players on their Practice Squad, they'll make room for them on the 53. And then the Practice Squad will be ignored almost completely.

Teams in real life do not get an opportunity to match a practice squad player signing an offer sheet to join the active roster of a new team, AFAIK. A player may reject an offer to join an active roster, but the original team has no say in the matter. What you are asking for, if my understanding is correct, isn't "sim".

As to how users handle their practice squads, that's part of the risk. If I am playing as the Seahawks, Earl Thomas gets injured, and I kept the rangy athlete at FS2 who is nowhere near ready to play on my 53 (very low AWR / PRC / PUR ratings) rather than a less athletic but more mentally capable backup, that's my fault in managing my roster to not overcome that circumstance properly, is it not?

"Just like in the real-world, your Practice Squad players are free agents and can be poached by other teams for their active roster."
