Correct. Every player is subject to waivers from the trade deadline until the new league year. Before that, only players with less than 4 accrued seasons (Matthews has 2) are subject to waivers.

If Banta-Cain or Galloway were released after today, then they would have been subject to waivers and any team could have claimed them before the Pats could get them back.

They are not getting Galloway back, he signed with the Bucs.

Another draft pick thrown away on a useless player.

Which pick was that? The one for Matthews? Pretty sure it was conditional...

I think this is a gamble that they'll clear waivers.
