Rookie qualification
|
|
|

Thank gosh Stu has such a good memory, and what he said kind of rings a bell for me. I think we decided to be conservative about letting injured players be considered rookies in their second year in the NFL if they were never active in their first year.
That being said, I think it's fair to open this up for discussion. Is there a downside to letting a player like Etienne be a draftable rookie in 2022, assuming he was inactive for the entire 2021 season? |

I'm fine with that

| Since we don't have an official rule, the only thing we can really do is look back at what we've done in the past. I'd totally support a rule like this for a player who was injured his entire rookie season. |

Jamal Lewis Rule
"If any declared Franchise or Rookie player suffers a serious injury in the preseason, that team may choose to change their Franchise or Rookie player designation to any player from their previous season's roster. They may also choose to change their designation from a player to "no player."
Now, this scenario doesn't exactly describe Etienne's situation, but there is enough language in this rule (I think, if ammended), that an owner could designate said rookie as a keeper if they kept them on their roster and if said player didn't play ANY games the PREVIOUS regular season, because of injury (not contract negotiations). He is technically a rook, and has no professional experience.
There's my .02
