I bet Andrew Hawkins or Cameron Wake would have loved to have been treated special so he could hang around in the NFL rather than having to go to Canada and work hard for another chance, like everyone else who wants to keep their eventual NFL dream alive.

The article isn't clear, but it sounds like it's an extra slot on the practice squad? And they can't be promoted to the active roster anyway, so at the very worst they're taking up a practice squad slot. I don't think veterans care because they aren't eligible for the Practice Squad anyway.
