Pats claim RB Tyler Gaffney off waivers

[Paintballr]

So basically we waived/injured him to save some cap space and then re-sign him once he cleared waivers and then put him on IR.

And then Pats Pat'd

Why would Dave risk this happening for cap space? At this point we should have enough to sign someone if a starter gets hurt, we arent over or anything, why risk it?

Apparently it is a rule to prevent teams from stashing players... except isn't that exactly what the Pats are doing?

Patriots claimed former Panthers rookie RB Tyler Gaffney on waivers today after Carolina tried to sneak him through waivers and into IR.

By rule, the Panthers had to waive the injured Gaffney. They were going to sign him back and place him on IR. Patriots have foiled that

Just more reason to hate the Pats

Why couldn't they just IR him?

Panthers could have kept Gaffney, but would have meant sitting on him until cuts were due and IR then. But they needed Fozzy Whittaker now.

Basically, the Panthers bet $100k and a draft pick that everybody would play nice. They lost.

There's no freaking rule stating that players must be waived just because they get hurt!

Jonathan Jones is a moron!!
