Got another one for discussion (this was discussed a bit a while back):
This is rule 6B:
Quote:
Each team will be allowed a 5 player development squad for players with 0-3 years of NFL experience (Players entering their 4th NFL season are NOT eligible for the DS). There is no Cyber Buck cap to the Development Squad, but there is a 20 year contract cap. Development squad cyberbuck and contract year caps will not count against a team's regular cap unless a player is activated to the active roster.
An Active roster player can NEVER be placed on the DS. The only way to place a player on the DS is to acquire them by trade or rookie draft.
Once promoted to the Active Roster, a player cannot be placed back on the Development Squad by the SAME team during the same season (if the player is traded other teams can place the player on their Development Squad, but the original team CANNOT have on his development squad that year).

I am wondering if this is the clarified version. This still seems confusing because the second paragraph seems to contradict the third. For example, if I trade Charles Rogers to another team, can they put him on their DS (he still has one DS year left)? To my reading the second paragraph says
NEVER but the third would seem to allow it.
Anybody care to weigh in?
