Ochmed's probably shocked as hell

Why do we need a tight end with a bad shoulder and attitude going to do for us?

We need to give Hollister a shot before he becomes the next aj derby.

The more the merrier
No we don't need him he's underperformed

 

[Gumby]

Wait where are all those guys screaming BB screwed up by trading this guy.

 

[Bill Lee]

He was my camp binkie. Bring on the 4 TE Set!

 

[luuked]

Not surprised at all. Cant block and a small catch radius are a very bad combination for a TE no matter how good his hands are.

There can only be one Jake Ballard.

IF Derby is an upgrade over Jacob Hollister I would claim him. Derby has other things going for him too...he knows Brady and our Offense.

Interestingly, the Broncos replace Derby on the roster by promoting TE Austin Traylor from their PS. Traylor was on the Pats' PS for awhile last November.

Derby apparently injured his shoulder against the Pats last week - left the field and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. He was also ruled out early for the Broncos game tomorrow v. Cinci, and was waived/injured.

Sounds like he may have a significant injury, so I'm kinda skeptical that he'd be any help to the Pats the rest of this season. He may "know the offense", but he's no Martysaurus.

Sorrythought it was one of those Marty things.

Hell, what's prohibitive about another TE with a bad shoulder needing surgery?

What's the difference between waived/injured designation and straight to IR designation?

Meekly raises hand

IIRC, after the trade deadline, ALL players must pass through waivers, even on their way to IR.

That can't be right though. Otherwise teams would get their top players snatched away.
