No, veterans are not subject to waivers until tomorrow.

Matthews, however, since he only has 2 accrued seasons, IS subject to waivers TODAY (and yesterday, and before that)...

I thought so too. They've done a fair bit of that (e.g. P. Burgess), spending conditional picks on players for a look-see or stop-gap, then cutting them loose before the conditional pick locks in.

If I'm counting correctly, that makes open roster spots at 14.

It's too early to be drinking that much, Bostonian...

I think that Matthews played extremely well in his time with the Pats.. his blocking was definitely better than either Baker or Watson.

Matthews' pick was conditional, but its quite possible that him being on the roster for almost two months triggered the condition. Not sure though.

Gaper said Matthews won't be re-signed like TBC and Alexander, according to his agent:

WTF? We could have easily got the Raiders for a low 5th.

I can't believe Al Davis snookered us again.... this is worse than the Burgess trade!
