Pats claim RB Tyler Gaffney off waivers

That is why they win year in and year out even though I hate them you have to respect that part of their organization.

If you had a high character and high potential role player staring you in the face with no previous injury history, would you grab him and put him away for the future? Hell yeah.

If you had that player in your hands, and looked to your competitors and said, "I really like the kid. Does anyone want him?" Wouldn't that be a really idiotic move?

Gettleman better have a 53 man roster riddled with talent and not a sole on that 53 man roster that is average/expendable. Otherwise, this is a horrible move.

Gettlemagic! It is all an illusion! *poof*

Actually I doubt they could keep winning after that Tom boy runs out of his tank.

Would it have been done with Kelvin Benjamin had he torn a ligament in his knee?

Of course not. But nobody wanted Gaffney until Gman took him in the 6th. Any 6th rounder is a gamble, and I didn't see many people here putting much value on him until the Pats grabbed him. Are you gonna save a roster spot for a low round pick before you even know if you really want him?

Whenever I hear a Huddler say that we wasted a pick when somebody from the 4th round and on doesn't pan out, I can only think that their parents thought the same thing about them when they were born.

This is a routine move by the FOs around the league. Patriots just did the same exact thing with one of their injured players. I saw a tweet about it somewhere. 

 

It's just a bit surprising that it happened this early on in the camp. I read that we did this to bring Fozzy in asap.

 

It's kinda like going double down with 10s in blackjack and then going over on one and hitting 17 on the other. Fozzy being the 17 in this case.

 

 

People need to relax. I know it sucks that we lost a pick but Pats pulled of a dirty move. What they did is legal but frowned upon. 

 

Why can't some people give our GM some slack?

Belichick probably did us a favor in actuality

Getting IRed twenty minutes into your rookie season is not a good way to start your career, and it's not like the panthers have ever had a shortage of players that get hurt immediately after training camp starts

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
