Why is it called the “taxi squad”? The NFL calls it the practice squad so just curious why FleaFlicker and other dynasty sites call it a taxi squad.
the terms are interchangeable - if i recall, the "practice" squads were originally called "taxi" squads in the NFL.
Correct. The owner of the Browns put fringe guys on his taxi company payroll to keep them around back in the 1940s.
