Pats claim RB Tyler Gaffney off waivers

Recommended Posts

We needed the roster spot for preseason games. Unless you want 1st and 2nd string players playing more in preseason and taking a chance on getting hurt to protect that 6th round player that is hurt for the season already.

Does it suck? Sure but Gaffney is not the franchise savior. I think we will manage with the 4 other RBs on the roster

I'm not sure our resident Madden champions get how this works in the real world.

I came here to laugh at ANYONE mad at the Pats and old Bill. "Unwritten Rule" my ass. They had every right to take him and they did. That's why he has four rings. He does what it takes. Maybe this will start a trend and we can get a future talent who's currently injured. Now if you'll excise me I'm going to actually go read this thread and see how mad some of you actually got.

Some people are blowing this way out of proportion and then some people are acting like it's no big deal whatsoever.  You can bet Gettleman is pretty pissed about it.  Sure, Gaffney was only a 6th rounder, but he was still a guy Gettleman valued highly enough to spend a draft pick on.  GMs covet their draft picks.  That's the currency with which they build a roster.  Tom Brady and Greg Hardy were also 6th round draft picks.

He has 3 rings because he cheated his ass off.  How many rings does he have since Spygate?  They're lucky that they're in a joke of a division.

Yeah, THAT'S why they won. They knew everything before it happened! They could've won with Clausen at QB!

 

Dude, take off your Panthers blinders. The Pats are big meany heads ... get over it.

    • 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
