The San Francisco 49ers made a notable practice squad move in Week 6. The team gave cornerback Emmanuel Moseley a sizable raise, according to 49ers cap expert Jason Hurley. Moseley was making the practice squad minimum of $7,600 per week for the first five weeks. Starting in Week 6, his weekly salary was increased to $28,235. That number projected out over the full 17 week season is roughly equivalent to what a rookie would earn on the 53-man roster.
This kind of raise suggests another team was sniffing around hoping to sign Moseley to their 53-man roster.
