Danny Aiken. Yawn.

 

[Mack Herron]

Doug Kyed ?@DougKyedNESN 52s
The Patriots released long snapper Danny Aiken.
Nink gonna snap

 

[Luxusdk]

Ninko is LS aswell !!

 

[Bruins29]

But for 4 weeks they get to keep another player at another position.

 

[Love The Drake]

Ninko the long snapper?

Is the Nink part just Kyed's guesswork, do you think?

Jeff Howe ?@jeffphowe
James Morris was placed on injured reserve. He was not released.

 

[BradyBranch39]

BB has never seemed very happy with Aiken. Which is strange because he could be MUCH worse.

 

[Brit patriot]

Being a bit of an expert on tactics, don't we need a long snapper?

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Danny Aiken is the surprise......

Fail.

This smells like a quick cut and resign once we complete a trade and or waiver claim

 

[Mack Herron]

sorry that's me.

 

[Bruins29]

When was the last time we did not have one? And if Nink got hurt you would have no starting end or long snapper.

But we hang onto Chris Barker!

You only need a long snapper if you intend to punt.

Or settle for a field goal... or take a single extra point... we're going for 2! Every time!

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Whoever snapped in the Giants game SHOULD be cut.
I was distracted with kids so I didn't check to see who it was. I just assumed they were trying Ninko and he was sucking.

We do, and I can't imagine they're planning on a starting DE (Ninkovich) doing the job all season. The LS has to be available to practice with the K and P.

 

[Bruins29]

And Mallet.

Well I guess they said it would be surprising. And Aiken was making nothing so it was not salary driven.

and kick FGs/PAT

 

[Haley]

Maybe were just planning to always go for it on fourth down. Brady would like that.

I'm not surprised they cut Aiken as his long-snapping wasn't the best, but I am surprised that they would have Ninkovich snap because of the risk of injury while playing defense. They must have another backup snapper on the roster or there is someone who's been cut that they want to sign. Wasn't expecting that.
