Also heard report today that AH didn't associate or hang out with ONE teammate.  Not one. 

wouldn't surprise me. it hasn't surprised me that no one has come to his defense, either...and i don't think it's completely to do with the hooded dictator coaching the pats.

 

it's likely that anyone who knew him on a professional level knew what he was about, and it wasn't good. i doubt any of those people are surprised by all of this, either.

 

made me think of someone calling the pats classless for cutting him right away and offering an exchange for his jersey instead of waiting...i think this was expected at some level and they were likely just waiting for a reason to move on. i doubt anyone in that org...right down to the players...are all that upset with him getting the axe.

Exactly.  And about the Pats cutting him so quick...I also heard on some sports radio show that the Pats contribute to and use lots of local police in the area for their own security.  It would be silly to think the Pats wouldn't have been tipped off to how bad the situation for AH was before the arrest was made.  That's probably why they were so quick to cut him loose...they saw the 1st degree murder charge coming.

As much as we hate the Patriots franchise, it is a top class organization. All the more reason to hate them.

The report I heard the day AH was arrested, was the Pats had decided the week before, that if AH was arrested for anything associated to the murder , they were going to cut AH.

The Pats handled this right.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      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.
