What a roller coaster today must have been for him! Unemployed to rookie minimum is an absolutely enormous pay swing. Good for Gunner!
Really cool to see Gunner kept. All kinds of shades of Edelman in him. So that's a pretty loaded list of WRs unless I've missed something: -Edelman -Gordon -Thomas -Dorsett -Harry -Meyers -Olszewski -Slater Who would've expected in March that there would be 8 WRs on the initial 53?
I guarantee you fans will claim the Pats cheated again. On a personal note, hate losing Crossen, but love that Gunner made the team. It may only be for 1-4 weeks, they have to cut someone in a week after TE Lance Kendricks comes back from suspension, or if they cut Kendricks, 4 weeks when Watson comes back. BUT, Belichick may just find a way to keep him on the 53 man roster all year due to his ability to play several roles.
There will be plenty of space for roster turnover after guys are put on IR-R. Gunner has every shot at 46 with the way Jules' hand looked the other night..
I like Gunner’s intensity and the fact that he can return punts, but I don’t like trading Crossen; I thought he’d be a major player on STs and provide quality depth in the secondary.
