The Patriots also waived/injured TE Jake Bequette. He'll go to IR if he clears waivers.

It happened!

EDIT: It's possible that after going unclaimed on waivers, Jake "The Invincible" reverts to IR and is somehow back at training camp next year. Astounding

EDIT EDIT: If he’s not claimed, he can go on Patriots injured reserve or become a free agent after an injury settlement with the team. Let's hope that after 4 years without a game, the team will chose to rid themselves of Jake "The Invincible"

Hes going to the Practice Squad or IR, hes not going anywhere.

What is this guy doing that impresses the Pats so much? It's not as if he stood out in training camp. So Why?

An end of an error.

#Patriots have waived offensive tackle Mark Asper and linebacker Cameron Gordon and released defensive tackle Antonio Johnson.

OMG! Someone must have posted one too many 'untouchable' threads for BB's liking. Or Ernie Adams finally broke into jakes safe and got those bb pictures out.

Hmmmm,
What would bb do if someone claimed him off waivers?

 

[Froob]

Well after he goes to IR, he'll have successfully hung around for 4 years without playing in a single game. Unreal.

Anonymous defensive end sent a petition to the league, he wants a change in the practice squad rules:
1. A player can be in the practice squad during his first 15 years in the league

I think the better metaphor is that the Kafkaesque Bequette got stepped on... but scurried off. Whether he lives on (in the practice squad) has yet to be seen..

If a tree in a forest is released......

Not sure what the football reasons are, but I don't think that there can be any doubt that he is a good guy and hard worker that is very well-liked on a personal level by the coaching staff.

Only Rasputin has been killed more times and has lived.

If he ends up on IR (and there's no reason to think otherwise), wouldn't that make him the equivalent of a 5th year sophomore or something?

You mean to tell me Jake Bequette somehow made the Patriots coaching staff feel sentimental, even though he didn't play a single game?

What happened to Belichick's hardline notion of "player value"?

I swear, this man must be a magician

Dang, I didn't even realize that! I guess us Patriot fans must be in some afterlife like in the 'Lost' Finale, working through our issues with Goodell

I hope @fnordcircle is OK.
