Unless you are a top level draft choice, players have to be in the right place at the right time to make an NFL team....All-Pro fullback Pat Ricard was D-lineman who was converted to fullback by the Ravens....If he didn't change positions, he most likely would not be a 5th year player in the league...

Staying healthy, being available and knowing the playbook are key to staying in the league as a backup

This tweet is from a couple of days ago but suggests Murray would be the LG if Alijah Vera-Tucker misses any real time. Murray has been considered the backup center for most of camp. Good sign for him making the roster if he can hold down the second spot at both guard and center.

Murray was apparently carted off at practice recently. Hope he’s okay.

Murray played in the final preseason game and got a few nice comments on Twitter.

General consensus seems to be that Murray will make the 53-man roster. Hope the consensus is correct.

The Athletic is not in that consensus.

As I was dozing off last night I think I heard the Jets traded for an OL guy.

As ACTP noted, looks like Jimmy will start the season on the practice squad. Given how many injuries the Jets have had on the OL, he should be on the 53 before too long.

Jimmy was officially added to the Jets practice squad yesterday.

I'm curious whether players on the practice squad receive/accrue benefits (e.g. pension) in the same way as if they were on the 53 member roster.

Good question, also what is the league minimum now? If I remember a few years ago it was ~280k but I can’t recall if that included practice squad members as well. Jimmy should be activated in a good chunk of games this year considering he can play C or OG and the Jets line is a mess. He just needs to stay healthy.

Need minimimum of 3 seasons of being active/inactive/IL/PUP for at least 3 games per season to be vested. NFL retirement isn't good either, 43K/yr I believe.

I think Murray was on the Chiefs 53-man roster for several games in 2018 and a smaller number (but at least three) with the Jets in 2020. If so, he’d only need to be on the 53-man roster for 3 games this year to qualify. That would be nice. An extra $43k per year for life definitely helps. |

Found this from 2020 about the pension amount for guys with three years of service:
The change from four years of credited seasons to three to become vested for a pension provides a $19,800 annual pension for life for former players with three years of NFL service but not four. That figure is expected to increase to $22,000 in 2025 based on expected annual NFL revenue growth.
