Valid point.

Fair to note that Branch is 33, though.

I'm not arguing for him, I don't really think he would offer much either. Was just commenting on the point that the Pats think he's done doesn't really mean much. Many Pats fans thought he should've been playing down the stretch but he was a healthy scratch. Belichick does make a lot of mistakes too, like trading for Ealy and benching Butler this year...

No, I gotcha.

FYI: One other interesting note from Grossi.  He's vehemently opposed to the Browns taking Barkley number one.  Says it should be quarterback or nothing because Cleveland has screwed the pooch on quarterback too many times to risk losing out on the best option.

Is Haloti Ngata healthy?  he might be a solid option at DT

He's healthy but really a shell of himself. I really want him though because he fits our system of rotating DTs.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
