Pats claim RB Tyler Gaffney off waivers

I've never seen a team handle their RB situation the way the Panthers have. This is becoming comical. It makes me sick that a guy made 100k for getting injured in his first practice, but ,hey, if I was him I probably wouldn't turn it down either.

He made 100k for getting drafted.

That's the point. They're not gonna keep an injured rb on the 53 man roster. I would be shocked if they did.

They can put him on the PUP list, like they did Ballard. Ballard spent the 2012 regular season on the PUP list.

Yea, I guess you're right, but, damn, feels like a huge waste of money.

Yeah, it's a kick to the marbles. But things happen. 9 times out of ten, this is a standard move. Gettleman just misjudged the demand for him.

It's like Gettleman locked his keys in the car. Which is kind of stupid. But some people want to act like he got drunk and crashed the car. Not quite that big a deal.

17 pages over this?

Wow.

 

Threads where people say moronic things often get stretched out.

 

 As someone else mentioned, there's an awful lot of 'dumb' in this thread.

 

 

I love how upset you're getting and bashing everything Gettleman ha done

 

Over a 6th round draft pick

 

Who was out for the season anyway

 

For doing what any of the other 31 GMs would've done.

 

Amazing

 

A decent amount of this stuff is coming from people who hardly ever post unless they have something to whine about.

Tyler Gaffney: the greatest panther to never play a snap for the panthers?

 

Apparently :rolleyes:

 

 

 

Yea, I guess you're right, but, damn, feels like a huge waste of money.

 

He was out for the year. 

 

No matter what happened, he was going to make 96K and contribute nothing.

 

 

I bet the Pats did this just for spite.  We'll end up getting him back at some point.

 

If this were any other team, I'd say no way.  But Belichick is notorious for doing stuff just to be an a--hole.

You can't spend the entire season on pup........

Well somehow he did.

2012: Missed the entire season after being placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform List on 8/27 with a knee injury suffered in Super Bowl XLVI during the previous season.

 

 

 

He was removed in July of 2013
