Elgin and the last PS spot
 
With Elgin signing onto the Jets' PS, do you think that mean we didn't offer him a spot on ours, or he chose the Jets over the Patriots?

Also, with him gone, what position will the last PS spot go to? I am thinking DB, maybe a hybrid player like C.J. Gaddis (who I don't think has signed anywhere yet), though I heard he was having trouble picking up the Eagles' D.

What you think about filling that last spot?

I do not think they offered him a spot...the first five were all cut by the Pats Saturday..Mays, Thomas, Childress, Jones, Oldenburg...and by Sunday nite all were on the squad..I think if Elgin was going to be signed it would have been done Sunday. I agree a DB seems likely...also possibly a DL

I doubt that BB and Mangini were fighting over him.

Elgin stands a lot better chance of making the active roster on the Jets then the Pats, I am sure Elgin is aware of that.

Stop and think for a moment folks: where would a C/G have the greatest opportunity to make a roster? The Jest were grumbling about their RG last season being the weakest link and he's still the man. They have a rookie LG converted from tackle. Now compare that to Mankins, Koppen, and Neal, backed by Hochstein and Yates...the Pats may or may not have made him an offer, based on the way he played in preseason and the opportunities he got, I'd say he likely did get an offer from the Pats, but chose a weaker O-line team for the opportunity to make a roster.

Maybe...but isn't it interesting that the Pats cuts that were signed to the Squad all signed Sunday; signed quickly. Maybe he had a choice...maybe not. Until there is more evidence, I will assume that he did not have the offer. Let's see...working with a choice you have worked with for months or a new situation totally?

Choice or not, Elgin is better off on the Jets squad.

I thought he looked great, but the top 4 interior line spots on the Pats are pretty well set while the Jets' guard situation is quite the opposite. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Elgin had the option and chose the NYJ practice squad.

That would really be a bummer if he turn's out to be the real deal for them...:mad:
