The Patriots have signed Brian Tyms, per the NFL transaction wire.

Is he gonna play on defense as well?

RobertWeathers · Mar 11, 2015

He played CB in Pop Warner...

WOW, now I can sleep at night

Nice. That TD @ Buffalo may have been only one play, but it's left me intrigued. Mossiest play by a Patriots' WR since the real thing was traded away.

I like Tyms, i think he can develop into a good WR

sb1 · Mar 11, 2015

I wonder why he was cut in the first place...

He wasn't, but the team declined to give him an ERFA tender, which isn't too different as far as the principle goes.

Time to move on, IMHO.

Agreed.

I'm reading:

An Exclusive-Rights Free Agent is an NFL player who is not under contract, but has only two years of NFL experience. If his former club makes him an offer at the three year veteran minimum salary, then that's it, he has to take it or leave the NFL. These guys have no right to negotiate with other teams. They are "free" only in the sense that they're free to quit.

Seems we didn't want to just offer him the 3rd year minimum offer and lock him in, but wanted him to test the market and come back to us for that price or a similar level and not feel like we were screwing him over?

Scrub but no harm in giving him another offseason.

Oswlek · Mar 11, 2015

Totally confused. Why didn't they tender him yesterday if they planned on resigning him? Is it a longer term contract?

I think we are overthinking it. Unless he improves significantly somehow, I dont think he will survive the final cuts this year.

Jangles · Mar 11, 2015

Nice.

Now that the practice squad is set, who do we sign to play in the games?

RelocatedPatFan · Mar 11, 2015

I'll be excited when he runs some great routes and connects with Brady (pres-season games or later).

Until then, nothing to see here.

Galeb · Mar 11, 2015

What a relief.

Deus Irae · Mar 11, 2015

And, just like that, the Revis replacement was found.

bresna · Mar 11, 2015

If the Patriots resigned Tyms, then who are they planning to replace him with? Oh wait, re-signed Tyms. That makes more sense now.
