It will look bad on Fulmer if he goes on and becomes a serviceable TE in the NFL. Wasted talent at UT.

64k is decent. However, with kids, mortgage, taxes, and utilities, food..etc that is hard to manage. I know your pain. After taxes and retirement and insurance that is about 1500 every two weeks.

Buffalo had him on their practice squad as a TE last year as well. Looks like they missed the boat too.

Let me rephrase that. I didn't mean that $64k isn't enough to live on. Obviously it is. But it's not exactly money you can count on; there's a reason why it's on a "per week" basis. Guys get added to and dropped from practice squad rosters all the time, you don't know whether you'll be there next year, etc. I doubt many practice-squad guys can sit here in May and say with confidence, "I know I'm going to make $64,000 this fall playing the whole season on an NFL practice squad, so I don't need to be worried about what I'm going to live on." Those marginal guys have some choices to make.

point taken.

I wouldn't pass up the chance to be on a team's practice roster and make $4,000/week, unless it was Chicago. Hell, it's much better than my $185/week I make working at K&K.
