Not at all bothered by them signing a player who was on our PS, but what is the rule about NFL teams signing players like this before Free Agency actually begins?  Curious what is allowed and if it commits them to keeping him on the active roster for a few weeks.

We released him in January; he was not poached.  Since he was released, he is eligible to sign with another team prior to FA.  If he had signed a futures contract with us, I don't think he could have been poached. 

At least I think that is how it works this time of year.

He was on our practice squad but at the end of the season but we did not sign him to a futures contract so free agent
