Patriots Cuts

[captain insano]

Why would it confuse you? McCoy is better than Burkhead.

It doesn't matter anyways, he's signing with the Chiefs.

Considering the reports have stated that the Patriots actually CALLED Gunner and told him they were cutting him only to call him back 4 hours later to say that things had changed, I'm going to say no, it wasn't.

Could still be. This could just be a plant by the agent to drum up more interest

TIL: Gunner Olszewski's first name is Kaleb.

I'm planning to forget that immediately.

Sweet! Then we can change it to Returner.

Is he though? Average yards per carry says otherwise.

McCoy would seem like an odd addition, at least to me. Would it work for either side? I don’t really see it.

Dude.

I mean I like Burkhead but c'mon. You can't be serious.

Totally serious. McCoy's tank is empty.

I can’t imagine a salary or a role that would work for either side. This report of NE interest is just another agent/player trying to link themselves to a winning organization.

The Chiefs guaranteed him $3 million. Highway robbery by Shady.

They did? Well, there you go. Yeah, he certainly wasn’t seeing that here as a RB2-3, at best.

Never trust anything reported from Rapoport. Dude's a liar!

Sad to hear about Berrios but our depth at wr is sick, hopefully he sneaks onto the ps.

Sorry Ash, hes just not that good. Got beat out by two undrafted free agent rookies

James White is 27 coming off a career year and makes $4M. McCoy is 31, coming off a “smashed into the age wall” year, and will make at least $3M with potential for $4M.

He and his agent probably earned another million dollars just by mentioning the Patriots. I’m just glad that he’s not coming here.

Bad fit for so many reasons. Huge ego/a-hole is among them. There’s no way there was interest. I don’t even think he’s on this team at vet’s minimum.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

And I love how the Chiefs had $4M to burn and opted not to improve that flaming pile of sht they call a defense.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I’m not 100% certain of this, but I think Harry would be able to resume practicing after 6 weeks. He needs a fully healthy hamstring as much if he needs reps. In fact, he can’t run meaningful reps without two healthy ones.

I'm not sure the hammy is the only issue. He seemed to hurt his foot as well.

Let's hope they are not severe enough to warrant time on IR

 

[RobertWeathers]

That’s the thing. Taking him away from football 2 months at this stage of his career would be awful and have long range implications.
I say if he wouldn’t be able to play in a game for 2 months the team is better having him on the active roster, inactive for games and practicing, than away from football while someone else practices and is inactive.

Exactly. If they IR him he can't even go out in shells or in walk -throughs

 

[RobertWeathers]

Dude.

I mean I like Burkhead but c'mon. You can't be serious.

Shady doesn't play STs and would not be a cultural fit here.

Is Shady a better player and more gifted athlete? Of course.

He reportedly was looking much better at the last practice. I think the hammy is the important one and after he aggravated it in Detroit they are being cautious. I don't see Harry as an IR candidate.
