Marcus Cannon signed to PS

[captain stone]

Giardi is such a prick. Fits right in with the modern media tone.

Who on the team has made a 'public proclamation, assuring us the OL is fine'? Bueller ... anyone?

No one has. Not one person. The team, generally, has expressed confidence in themselves and the process which they're going through. No one has publicly assured anything.

Giardi is miserable. Dude sucks.

Agree. Don't like Giardi. Entitled little puke.

BB made assurances to no one.

The New England Patriots have faith in their plan to keep edge rushers away from quarterback Mac Jones this season.

permanent call up? I had not read that... So it was just a signing to the 53? Okay... that works... they can always cut/resign him to the ps if needed as he will clear waivers...

If its one of the "two" call ups teams are allowed (players who don't have to go thru waivers to be sent back to the PS) the reversion to the PS is automatic.... which is what I thought they did with Ferentz

This goes back to what we discussed earlier. By being on the actual 53 and not a call-up is Ferentz salary guaranteed? If so, then if cut, is that money counted against the cap and his new salary added in again? I don't know.

He is a vested veteran, so if he is on the roster for week 1 it is, for all intents and purposes, guaranteed money...

Kicking the tires, seeing what he has left in the tank.

Lip service. Nothing more.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Very persuasive counterargument

Take it anyway you want. Cannon going to PS in Sept is not the same as signing SJax in December to start games.

 

[RobertWeathers]

It's close that S. Jackson was done, and Cannon might also be.

Still not close because we don't know if Cannon is done.

Way too much jumping to conclusions around here.

I agree with the comment, but many thought Jackson was not done when he was initially signed.

So I still cling to that admittedly thin point.

Right so I would think no more practice squad for him or is it ok with the new rules?

[Deus Irae]

Yes it is... But signing this broken-down old warhorse doesn't help matters... In... the... Slightest.

That depends on where his game is at this point, and we don't know the answer to that right now.

 

[Family]

It really is a great signing.

Bill is the best at using the modern day practice squad rules.

 

[Wozzy]

He could stay healthy, he could get cut tomorrow... they're kicking the tires in case they decide to trade Wynn.

 

[Stu Pidassle]

Having experienced players on the practice squad is the 2022 version of the old 'shadow roster' when the team worked out veterans simply to have them on speed dial if needed. At least this way the team is able to ensure that they are in football shape. Given the importance and instability at tackle Cannon is at least worth investigating. Cannon has been effective when healthy and has had two years to heal up so he may be able to help.

I think that trading Wynn is not going to happen, he has not been around due to the back injury. Talk radio continues to beat the drum that both Brown and Wynn are disgruntled due to the position flip. Having both starting OTs not playing to their potential is not a good thing. I agree with the many people who are stating that Brown is a key to a successful season, hopefully the noise is baseless and Wynn will be able to play at his best level if his injury is managed.

Im not quite sure... Thats why I thought they promoted him, because it saves them the money on his contract if he's cut... but honestly there might be another way around it that i'm not seeing... the nfl has a tendency to make simple things very complex for some stupid reason...

Nate Solder is also 34 and a FA

What's Vollmer doing these days? Or Matt Light?

If he’s cut his salary counts against the cap. There is no new salary to add in. Because he’s cut

 

[mgteich]

If Cannon rounds out into game shape, who would you prefer to get called up to the 53, him or Ferentz? Honestly it doesn't matter as the move adds flexibility to the depth options that can be gained by ps players... Call ups are limited, and the more depth you have to use for call ups, the better

???

Ferentz backs up at OG and OC.

 

[Pape]

???

Ferentz backs up at ... OC.

he's calling the plays now?

wth...

Thats just too much BB...

all kidding aside... if Ferentz stays on the 53 then it doesnt matter... Cannon still provides experience, especially compared to Hines and Bill Murray

fair enough

I'm fine with adding Cannon.

An equivalent guard would be nice.

I suspect that Bill is just fine with Ferentz as the first backup OG off the bench.
