Are Gaston and Quarles auditioning for the temporary Chris Jones roster spot?

Expecting Jones to go IR-DTR Wed. Unless he's planning to go 5-2, gotta create roster space for LBs.

My thought as well. We'll see.

Steve Belichick to Bill Belichick after Steve Beauharnais nixed a practice squad offer:

"We don't need no stinkin' linebackers"

So 3-4 it is.

my guess is we have a practice squad offer accepted by White already.

I wonder which Gaston BB thought he was getting?

No one's slick as Gaston,
No one's quick as Gaston,
No one fights like Gaston,
No one hits like Gaston...

It's nice to have an practice squad, but we need guys to play the damned game on Sundays. I expect BB to sign to make 10-15 moves by next Sunday.

So 3-4 defense. Jones, Ninko, Mayo, Collins, Hightower, Fleming at LB?

Be nice if he turns out to be a player. Tommy Kelly probably took his spot?

he has to clear waivers first.

This is quite the rotation of defensive linemen they're assembling...

I don't think Chris White is eligible for the PS.

edit: he's not. Fourth-year player.

Why do I have the feeling Wilfork is being shopped?

Right, White isn't PS eligible, but neither is he super likely to be claimed -- and if he is, promoting J. Davis is a reasonable alternative.

Not that Jones & Siliga are still recovering? That seems far more likely, IMO.

I think I would just at that point throw my hands up and say you traded a team leader on offense why not defense as well then I would cry.

My understanding is both could have played Week 1 but I easily could be wrong.

While highly unlikely, BBs history of cut-throat deals at this time of year dumping VW would not surprise me.

@MikeReiss: WR Josh Boyce cleared waivers today. He is eligible for the practice squad.

@caplannfl: QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson signed to the #Patriots practice squad, per league source. Worked out for them on Saturday.

@caplannfl: Bethel-Thompson fits #Patriots system well, drop-back QB. Was recently waived by the #49ers.
