Player Signing Patriots acquire OT Vederian Lowe from Vikings

[PatsFan2]

Well even an idiot like me didn't like alternatives on this Online.Glad BB was paying attention. Eagles licking their chops.

 

[PatsFan2]

Looks like reiff is getting cut / retiring.

Good hated the FA signing.

Vederian Lowe -
6'4 5/8" - 322lbs (Listed by Minn)
Arms: 35 3'8" (Capt Stone will react to that)

Big 10 Honorable Mention

Lowe was the next pick after Kevin Harris. Ugh.

Jamaree Salyer was taken 11 spots later than Lowe. Salyer had 14 starts at LT last year for Chargers. Ugh.

 

[DaBruinz]

So it looks like OTs on the roster will be Trent Brown, Sidy Sow, Wheatley and Lowe, right?

That means McDermott and Stueber are gone. Reiff is injured, Anderson never made it off PUP. Is that it?

Anderson is on NFI (Non-Football Illness), no PUP.

Well I think it’s safe to say the way we went about fixing our OT issues this offseason was a disaster.

I think it’s safe to say that having Anderson on NFI unable to practice being sick all preseason and McDermott and Reiff injured at the end of camp was disastrously bad luck.

 

[DaBruinz]

Reiff could be put on the IR after cut-downs depending on what the injury is.

 

[Keyser Söze]

Good thing we traded up for a K in the draft instead of drafting a quality T….

 

[DaBruinz]

Waived injured I think. He may well retire if he’s out for the season with his injury.

Vested Vets can't be Waived/Injured. He'd be IRed. The question is whether or not they have to do an Injury Settlement since his Salary is guaranteed.

 

[DaBruinz]

Steuber is not that good.

Steuber never played LT before this year. Yet all his snaps were at that position in Camp. Why does Sow get a pass but Steuber doesn't?

 

[n1997y]

Anderson is on NFI (Non-Football Illness), no PUP.

True. But if not released he’ll be on Reserve/NFI and unable to practice for 6 weeks, so pretty much the same effect.

 

[Tunescribe]

All this last minute cramming could have been alleviated by, as some of us criticized, _drafting_ tackles. We had what 14 picks the last draft?

Guys with higher ceilings were there.

If Bill had calmed down and had a cognac and cigar on draft night and didn’t trade up with the Jets, we could have used the abandoned pick 184 on LT Jaelyn Duncan—and still taken Chad Ryland at 120. Almost identical athleticism to Sidy Sow, Duncan spent four years as Maryland’s starting LT. Plus, we need more Scots on the team.

RASRAS Compare

Have you ever wanted to look at two players side by side and see how they tested when compared to one another? Does that new rookie your team drafted remind you of a player from yesteryear and you&…

All this 20/20 draft hindsight kvetching is pointless. You guys can drive yourselves crazy doing it with any draft from any year. Let's see how these new additions pan out, they just might prove more productive than any late-round rookies the Patriots COULD HAVE taken while not giving up much for them.

Steuber never played LT before this year. Yet all his snaps were at that position in Camp. Why does Sow get a pass but Steuber doesn't?

Because DEs blow by Steuber and not Sow.

Vested Vets can't be Waived/Injured. He'd be IRed. The question is whether or not they have to do an Injury Settlement since his Salary is guaranteed.

Couldn’t he be cut instead of IRed? Or does the salary guarantee preclude that? Seems to me they should be able to cut him to free the roster slot even if they still have to pay him. So probably an injury settlement will be required somehow. Now I’m curious how all that factors into salary cap calculations…

And they drive some of us crazy doing it every year just to take shots at BB for not drafting a team that goes undefeated and wins the Lombardi every year.

Ignore the noise.

My apologies if “misgendering“

Its hail mary time for OT's for the Pats.

 

[DaBruinz]

Because DEs blow by Steuber and not Sow.

Yeah, when he's playing LT. They didn't "blow by him" when he was at RT last year in the Pre-season. There are some players who just can't adjust from one side to the other. Matt Light was one. Isaiah Wynn is another.

The hypocrisy is amazing with some people on this board.
