In regards to a relationship yes Ryan is my younger brother He is not with the Jaguars nor does he have a contract with them Only players with a signed contract can ever be considered roster players or members of the team squad franchise where try out players have no formal standing as a member of a team It is not uncommon for a free agent player to try out or be worked out by multiple teams over a short period of time none of which qualifies the player as a member of the franchise Perhaps for clarification analogies could be used tryouts workouts are equivalent to job interviews pre season would be equivalent to a three month internship practice squad would be equivalent to a long term paid apprenticeship lasting up to two years inactive roster players would be equivalent to full time fully licensed substitute teachers who are on the pay roll and have to report to work every day regardless if a staff teacher i e active roster player is out or not Practice players are considered part of the franchise but not members of the team or squad as they are under a different arrangement than the actual team squad players which are comprised of both active and inactive roster players
