2016 COMBINED: Pats Roster Transactions

[The Boston Patriot]

assholes

I disagree. They are much worse than a-holes. You forgot the F'n.

He's already using one of his hands to pleasure himself now that TB12 is officially suspended.....

That's Kensi's hand...

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Have we heard anything about Gaffney and Roberts being hurt prior to this? That's a surprise to me. I figured Lucien and Martin could have been ones with a waived /injured designation, but I guess not.

I'll be that Gaffney and Martin are hurt and are 2-4 or 4-6 weeks of recovery time. Because of that, Bill is playing the shadow roster card. If they are available and healthy, he may grab them. If they are not, oh well.

When was Darryl Roberts injured? I never saw or heard any mention of that at all.

I think Kyed is off. Roberts was never hurt ( unless the Foxboro Plague rolled in)

 

[AtomicDawg]

OK looked at highlight videos on both like both of them.
Sign them both practice squad.

Mitch Matthews has some size to him. Wouldn't be bad.

 

[scott99]

Man I'd be thrilled if we could get Mitch Matthews. 6'6" 225 with LONG arms, and great hands. High points the ball, fights for the ball. The Anti-Dobson if you will.

If he were waived injured without a season-ending injury, he would likely seek an injury settlement and become a FA.

I wouldn't be surprised if Andre Williams ended up here. I think the pats really liked him before NYG drafted him.

Andre Williams was hilariously bad for the Giants though. BB could give him a chance but I doubt he can actually make the team.

Ryan Hannable reporting it as well. They refer to the NFL Transaction wire..

"Shadow roster card"? Waived/injured players revert to IR and are lost for the season.

Teams don't use this to control a player's rights; they use it because it's required. You're not allowed to just dump an injured player.

I thought that players who were IRed as part of the cuts to 53 were eligible for return?

 

[fnordcircle]

More happy about the people that we kept than sad about the people we cut which as good as one can hope for in a cutdown day.

Have to be on roster after cut to 53 I believe. Cooper, for example could be placed on IR tomorrow and return.

Yep. Unless they receive an injury settlement, right?

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Mitch Mathews has nice size, does he know how to use it?

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

My random thought on the final 53.....

I'm glad that they kept Derby, still wondering how Harbah made the 53.

Is Cooper healthy? Is he a starter?

I gotta believe that BB takes a run at Sitton or Evans, that's a ton of talent and experience, both would be an upgrade over Kliene.

This first weekend of college football is amazing, instead of Alabama versus St. Mary's school for the blind, we have marquee match up everywhere.

Love the avatar, Patchick. But it must be exhausting. So much stash talk, so little time. Consume you, it will!

I think there are all kinds of unsaid understandings and handshake agreements that go on that we don't know about. It's a cultural thing.
