Cap Classroom: PUP and tolling contracts

As the 2017 season wore on, one question fans and observers asked over and over was regarding the status of cornerback DeShawn Shead, who had opened the year on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list while working his way back from a torn ACL suffered in final half of the final game of the 2016 season.

The reasons fans were so interested in Shead’s status was due to the team’s loss of multiple defensive backs during the Week 10 game against the Arizona Cardinals, as both Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor went down with injuries.
