Dolphins sign McCune off our practice squad

[MTK]

The guy looks like a hulk but looks don't mean much if you can't play.

That sucks - he seemed like a raw talent. I wonder what Miami plans to do with him.

Also, are practice squads just free-for-alls? That is, can any team sign any player off the practice squad?

Well that goes without saying, since I'm horrible at football.

Yes; to their 53 man roster.

But not to their practice squad, right? I can't imagine a player would want to make a lateral move like that, although I guess it's possible if they thought it more likely they would get moved up to the roster on a different team.

Not to practice squad. That's why I said 53 man roster.
