Pats claim RB Tyler Gaffney off waivers

wow.

 

is there a precedent for this?

 

Pats already did this before with Jake Ballard a couple seasons ago.

 

 

 

Because they decided to do so during the offseason, NFL rules required that he be exposed to waiver claims before they could do so. While Ballard and his agent expected that he would clear waivers, New England claimed him off waivers on June 12, 2012. He spent the entire 2012 regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Patriots claiming of Tyler Gaffney broke unwritten rule, but Panthers GM Dave Gettleman gambled and lost. The pot: Sixth-round pick, $100K.

I was literally typing the same thing when you posted. Ballard was on the rise and the Pats swooped in. Getts was in the FO at the time, he's 0-2 when trying to "sneak" players through waivers.

Gettleman really fuged up...he REALLY fuged up.

Yeah Gaffney has great potential.  We already have 5 to 6 RBs active, so why was there a pressing need to waive him to sign Whitaker, who won't make the roster anyway?  Just let him hold a spot until camp ends and IR him.  This was fuging stupid.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
