Yeah practice squad players are typically guys hoping to make an impact on the preseason and people to say “ if we get injured then that guy is a good 4th option”. I think Slade’s best shot is to get noticed by the right team in workouts and training camp. I think his NFL career is really based on what he can prove in the next 8 months and he could really be back into coaching or doing something with his degree after that.Possibly, but practice squads are limited to 16 players - I don't think there's much room 'long term' there.
Wish him the best but I think his playing time with either choice was probably at an end in the NCG.
