Player Signing Patriots claimed Ngakoue off waiver

He’s hating life right now.
 
Bro's been cooked for years. It's better than nothing as White has been atrocious.
 
Maybe we can resign him next year at vet minimum once he is fully healed and plays like Van Noy
 
Sorry the team isn’t good, here’s an opportunity to actually get on the field and increase your next contract from a mix of practice squad and minimum roster salary this season to closer to the 8 figures you made the previous 3 seasons.
 
another body for the rotation.

this is the game we play now... churning the waiver list and practice squads looking for guys who are cheap *potential* starters... who really shouldn't be in consideration for starts...

times like these can try a mans soul...
 
He'll be an okay rotational piece. Won't make much of a difference and is a few months from being 30, so don't expect him to be here for any sort of long haul

Basically. It can’t hurt.
 
You say that like it’s a bad thing
No I am not against claiming . The discarded folks from other teams are much better than our starters. And it's not 1 or 2. There have been 4-5 I believe since the off-season.

The number of waiver claims that we put is a direct indictment on front office and coaching .
 
Way past his best before date but so was James Harrison and he helped a bit.

I thought/feel the same. I was hoping they’d take this guy when drafted. Hopefully a change of scenery will help him. Wonder what McMillan did to get moved. Another one I thought would be great…
 
We signed the 54th best player from a top team. Surely, this improves our roster.

We will continue to be one of the first teams at near the waiver wire for the rest of the year. I suspect that this will mean 3-8 players who will be in 2025 camp competing for roster spots. Many will be signed and cut after 3 weeks.

Obvious examples of players with potential so far are Jacobs and Brown.

Yeah I might've first looked to ****-can one of either Eric Johnson (a complete WASTE of a Cut-Down Day claim) or Lil' Jerry Pharma; but I guess the FO thought it could spare one of the LBs instead. I mean, McMillan's wife sucked too (injuries have made him incapable - or unwilling - to explode into tackles inside the box), so no big deal either way. Still disappointed that the Clowns upstairs haven't tried to replace Johnson or Phriends U with a legit wide-body 0/1-Tech to try to help our running "issues" on defense.
