Patriots Player Departure Folk out due to appendectomy - UPDATE Cut to sign Kai Forbath.

Next man up.

Wish the 49ers would cut McLaughlin already so the Pats can sign him..

 

[DaBruinz]

I wonder if Nate Ebner can kick (Rugby skills)?

I think Ebner's Rugby skillset would be better for punting..

 

[DaBruinz]

I think if he were released now he would (after injury settlement) then be exposed to waivers but others will know. Since Folk would be expected to return in a couple weeks, Bailey as a short-term replacement might make sense.

Appendicitis is a Non-Football Injury. Don't know if a settlement is required for that.

Is John Walker available? Sign someone from Australia, they can all kick, or South Africa/ New Zealand...

Drop kick Brady.

Drop kick flutie approves

Remember that everyone is subject to waivers. So even if Folk would prefer to be re-signed by NE after being cut he might not have any say. Hence I doubt NE cuts him.

Honestly, I would be shocked if someone claims him unless they just wanna cut someone else, spend some extra dollars just to **** with NE.

But yeah the danger is always there.

I am not thankful for this

As mentioned, it’s INSANE that this team is 10-1.

I am still more worried about the pandemic, but this isn’t going to help.

No need for a kicker if this offense can pull their weight.

No need for a FG kicker if the team can score TD's. Go for 2 instead of the EP. Simple.

Ravens did it.

Can he hold for himself?

Ask Gisele?

Wouldn't be surprised if Folk missed just one game.

This season has immunized me against surprise.

 

[Wordsmyth]

I literally had the very same thought.

I FIGURATIVELY saw what you did there.

Blue or Red?

Brady is the backup holder. Bailey kicks if it is a short field goal.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Not that I'm against going for it on 4th down ...
I'm sure Bailey can handle it inside the 30 for now.
