I'm ignorant on all of the cans and cannots ... but my thought was we have what may be a healthy, good kicker on IR.  There are several desperate teams in need of a kicker.. Pats being one of these.  If we can trade off the IR OR use this fact to entice Gano to be generous in the injury settlement - we can get out from under some, if not all of what you mention.

 

Pats are signing Nugent

I’m normally not much of a cut off my nose to spite my face kinda guy, but I would rather trade Gano for magic beans to an Australian Rules football team in Kuala Lompur than do something to help Bellicheat shore up a weakness on his team. Eff that guy.

I believe you actually can now (there was a change sometime back) but the biggest rule governing that kind of trade is that you have to find somebody who's dumb enough to give something up for a guy who was injured badly enough to be designated "out for the year".

You are correct sir!

Gano ends up a cut if Slye continues his trajectory.  Every other team in the league can do the math.  We aren't keeping two kickers.

Additionally, in order for another team to even CONSIDER a low round draft pick trade for him, he would have to *somehow* show that he was healthy.  How does he do that?  He's out for the year.  The next time he'll really have an opportunity is OTA's / mini-camp . . . which is *after* the draft.

Seems like the potential scenarios are limited.

  • Slye continues as he started.  We cut Gano, eat 1.5 million in dead money move on.
  • Slye implodes.  Gano comes back next year.
  • Slye does something in between amazing and groan-worthy.  We have an actual competition in camp next year with Gano and Slye.

Why do we assume he is healthy?

I don't know if he is or isn't.  But I recall he was pretty much "day to day" and was "resting his leg" and was going to be "good to go" until all of the sudden he was responding to reporter's questions about his health by saying "you gotta ask the staff".. which I took that to mean he felt he wasn't as bad as they thought he was and then he was on IR.  My guess is he is healthy(ish) now - or will be healthy soon - and could be trade able.  Or I could be completely wrong and he may be laid up in bed with his leg in the air being spoon fed by Egyptian models.  

It was all a hypothetical "what if" question anyway.  Either way does not affect much of anything.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
