    This is the position I would take too, especially in light of Harbaugh and Culley's critical comments of Boykin this week. Perhaps the PS signing is meant to kick Boykin in the ass and if he doesn't improve, they'll bring Dez up and give him those snaps.

    Right. There is probably more impetus to improve the position than before. In addition, maybe Dez wasn’t amendable to being on the PS because he wanted to hold out for a roster spot. Now that’s obvious that isn’t happening this year.

    I think this is the correct answer. They could be trying to light a fire under his ass as well.

    Maybe this move is part of the process to woo AB by making it seem like they're trying to build a Superbowl offense - Dez is still a big name at least.

    More likely s.r. genovese is right though, Dez has finally realised that he's not getting an active roster spot anyhwere.

    But he would have been on the practice squad?

    It does nothing to impact the active 53 guys. They're still taking all the 1st and 2nd team practice reps. THey're still the focus. Dez would have been treated just like any other PS players.

    The upside is he would have been learning the playbook/getting in shape the whole time.

    I dont know - just seems weird to me to wait.

    Dez would have to want to be on the PS in August. I doubt he wanted that.

    Wouldn't that fire have been lit preseason too then?

    Misdirection before signing AB.

    Yeah that's certainly possible. It goes against what he said publicly, but obviously we don't know.

    Good point.

    It was no risk in August too.

    But if it was offered and dez didn’t take it it’s obviously completely different.

    This team has absolutely no money to sign anyone else unless some guys are restructured. Still not even sure how the trade today is fitting under the cap.
