Does anyone know why the practice team of the last players cut in the NFL is sometimes referred to as the "taxi squad"?  No fair googling up the answer if you dont already know it!   Scroll way down to see.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Original term came from Paul Brown and the Cleveland Browns wanting to keep extra players around for practice but since there was a roster limit, the owner put the extra players on the payroll of his cab company, even though they never drove cabs! Hence, the "taxi squad"!
