Player has the choice about where to go. Team A has the choice about whether to offer a spot on its 53 in order to hope to retain the player.
- accept and sign with Team B
- ask Team A if it would like to promote him to their 53, and if Team A says yes, then stay with Team A on their 53 or go to Team B 53 (Player's option)
- Stay on Team A PS.
This may be the closest thing that NFL players experience to a normal job market, once they have been drafter and/or signed a contract.
Edelman on the injury report with a concussion. F*ck.

Load up on that avocado ice creamI hope he doesn't need any new reconstructive surgery and if not he heads straight to Brady's guy, Guerrero for his off-season regimen.
Anyone who knows anything about Bill Belichick knows that he is not an Offensive genius. He has always delegated that side of the ball to the OC. Anyone can see with whom he huddles with on the sidelines during games - - it is almost exclusively DT grouping/LB grouping/ DB grouping. Do you EVER see him down on one knee on the sidelines coaching up the OL? The RB's? The WRs? No.
This should be obvious to even the most casual observer.
He is not on the mike into Brady's ear. McDaniels is.
Brady and McDaniels are the primary decision makers of the offense - - BB may swoop in from time to time to change some things or put in his 2 cents - - as he most certainly did at halftime on Sunday.
BB was very open about how the first half of the Miami game was poor coaching. I'd be quite unsurprised if he had some choice words with McDaniels at halftime.
Any team can sign any player off any other teams practice squad without restriction.
The team who has him on the practice squad can do nothing to block it. They could offer the player a contract also so that he could have choice, but they have no greater right to him than any of the other 31 teams.
So yes, exactly, the Patriots have no choice in Baltimore signing him.

no surprise here...
hope he's ready for next season
regarding part 2.
does the player have to initiate the talk with team A.....or can team A initiate offer to bring him onto the 53?
meaning.....when team A sees that team B made an offer......can they then rush in and offer a spot on the 53 and a contract?
or does team A only have that "choice" if the players comes back to them and gives them the opportunity?
No clue what you mean but the patriots could not prevent the ravens from singing walker. If you are trying to make a point please explain it.I suppose that you are simply trying to win debating points.
BEFORE Walker was signed by BALT, the patriots could have signed Walker and put Easley on IR. Of course, Walker could have said no.
This is the second player that Belichick let go in a month under somewhat similar circumstances. We should make the presumption that Belichick consider Jones and Walker not worthy of being on the 53.
Instead Belichick chose Fleming and Walker. And last I heard Chris White still wasn't playing.
Some folks were happy to see Tyms playing his first reps on special teams as our gunner. I don't have that kind of sense of humor.

That is a ridiculous point of view. Yes the Patriots can prevent teams from signing players on their 53 man roster. They cannot prevent them from signing players on the practice squad. That is a rule. They have no more right to that player on the practice squad than any of the other 31 teams.Of course, the patriots could have prevented the Ravens from signing Walker. The patriots could have signed him a week or more earlier.
Imagine if we had rolled the dice on WR:Kelvin Benjamin I can dream can't I?
What I think MG is trying to say is that Walker might not have been signed by the Ravens IF the Pats had made the decision to put Easley on the IR and promoted Walker earlier. Of course that's perfect 20-20 hindsight since there is no way the Pats could know that the Ravens were interested in Walker, so they could have thought they had more time to make the Easley decision.That is a ridiculous point of view.

To say they could have prevented a player being signed off the practice squad by not having him on the practice squad is silly. The Patriots did not want him on the 53 man roster.
I would seem that you are trying to "win debating points" I mean lets debate how we could have prevented the Packers from beating us by drafting Aaron Rodgers
