Nate Stupar released from Saints -NFM
- Thread starter Fac
- Start date
signed by the NY Giants....
The Giants have churned the bottom of the roster in the week leading up to the season, adding veteran help in a few spots.
Among the moves was bringing in linebacker Nate Stupar, who was recently released by the Saints.
The 30-year-old Stupar adds some special teams help for the Giants, and helps make them a bit older. They also signed 29-year-old defensive tackle John Jenkins yesterday.
This came after claiming six players off waivers Sunday after final cuts, meaning 15 percent of the roster has less than a week of preparation with the team heading into the opener.
“Hopefully we’re not gonna have years like this where there’s this much turnover right at the back end,” Giants coach Pat Shurmur said on WFAN, via the New York Post. “But it is what it is. We’ve committed to making sure we try to improve the roster, even if it’s incremental.”
Stupar has bounced around a bit, spenting time with the Raiders, 49ers, Jaguars, Falcons and Saints. He’s coming back from a torn ACL last year.

Good for him and his longevity. I had s it provided him with long term financial success and a pension.
How long has Stupar been in the league and do you need 4 years to qualify for an NFL pension? Also, anyone know details of an NFL pension, when can you begin collecting and what amounts. One more ???, does practice squad time count toward pension?
practice squad time does not count as service relative to your pension other than that....
The NFL's current pension plan applies to players who have had at least one credited season since 1993. Each season credit that a player earns adds a certain amount to his eventual monthly pension payment. Players are credited for a full season if they are on the active roster, injured reserve or physically unable to perform (PUP) list for at least three games during the regular season. Players can begin receiving this monthly pension when they reach age 55.
The league also offers an annuity program to players who have completed at least four credited seasons. The contribution amount varies by season. Players can begin receiving this benefit at age 35 if they have been out of the league for at least five years and can opt for monthly or annual payments.
The NFL also offers a plan similar to a 401(k). The Second Career Savings Plan can match up to double the amount of player contributions, with an annual maximum of $24,000 to $28,000 depending on the calendar year. Players can begin participating in the savings plan after their second credited season.
not yet, I believe he has only 2 credited seasons. This is his third year, correct?
I think Hack is on a practice squad, someone else will confirm but I believe Bengals.
