Patriots Cuts

There’s a middle ground here called calculated risk.

If they want him back, and are simply doing this to make room on the roster and/or to give him a different contract, why take that risk at all? It doesn't make sense. Why not get it all agreed to beforehand?

Interesting, and a possibility that we discussed briefly:

All signs point towards N’Keal Harry going to injured reserve (able to return) if Demaryius Thomas re-signs. Patriots currently have 6 WRs (not including Slater) and 7 doesn’t make any sense. Harry hasn’t played since first preseason game.

Interesting, and a possibility that we discussed briefly:

Does IR mean you can't even practice with the team? That would suck.

 

[Deus Irae]

Stephen Anderson is signing to the practice squad, per source

Does IR mean you can't even practice with the team? That would suck.

It would suck and it would happen

 

[Deus Irae]

Calvin Munson will join the Patriots practice squad after clearing waivers per source.

The League is stupid

 

[SBLIII]

yes, you can't practice for 6 weeks.

Does IR mean you can't even practice with the team? That would suck.

 

[Deus Irae]

Sixth-round DE Gerri Green is headed to the Patriots practice squad, per source

 

[Ring 6]

Interesting, and a possibility that we discussed briefly:

This appears to be hannable giving his opinion not reporting any facts.

 

[Deus Irae]

Two others headed to the P.S.

Patriots Don’t Claim Any Players Off Waivers, Keep Initial Roster Intact

 

[Dexter]

Round: 6 Pick: 199. We have fairly good experience with those.

 

[Deus Irae]

No surprise here:

Brian Flores and his staff grabbing a couple of Patriots on waivers in claiming Trent Harris and Ken Webster. Both would’ve made sense as p-squad candidates in New England.

 

[Deus Irae]

Nine teams had multiple players claimed. The two Super Bowl teams lead the pack. 5: Rams 4: Patriots 3: Bills, Ravens 2: Eagles, Packers, Vikings, Cardinals, Bengals These become a point of pride for personnel departments, as players getting claimed are a show of depth.

 

[SBLIII]

No surprise here:

Hmm I liked Harris especially with Rivers on IR and Calhoun health questions.

 

[ralmat55]

6th round 199 pick overall. Sound familiar?

 

[venecol]

I thought anyone claimed off waivers had to end up in the 53, not another PS.

 

[Deus Irae]

A total of 36 players were claimed off of waivers today. Their new teams will have to make corresponding moves, which are due by 4 PM EST today. More activity later today.

So the Rams and Patriots combined to have 1/4 of the claimed players come from their rosters.
