Goodbye David Gettis

[Ruff]

I honestly have no idea how long the waiver wire takes to pass through, and I can't even find that info on google from sources explaining how the waiver wire works.

I think it's until 4pm the next day.

Same problem here... Somebody here must know

Well we agree to disagree.....you show up every day making plays against Luke and company and looking legit.....means something. Gettis couldn't.

Preaseaon, Gettis padded his stats in a AE showdown against the weakest of the weak. That doesn't mean what you suggest....which is why he is gone

 

Agree to disagree.  

 

Luke and Mitchell not being able to smash you makes a difference when going across the middle or catching a ball in traffic.

 

Gettis padded his stat and AE was injured and never played. Never proving he is any more better then last year.

 

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

That hamstring pull was such bad timing..I think he would have secured a roster spot but when he could not suit up he bacame a guy you just cannot count on healthwise.

They have been more than patient with him.

[PantherPhann89]

Hmmm, not sure if I'm happy about this. Hixon hasn't proven anything this preseason and haven't proven he can stay healthy, but then again Gettis can't stay healthy either.

I'd like to ask this again.... Everyone that was waived/injured today... How long do they have before they end up on IR assuming no ones snatches them up.

Please quote me so that I know. Thanks again

 

 

They go through the waiver wire like normal, if no one picks them up they revert back to IR after the wire. If they have more then 4 years of experience they become a FA or go straight to IR. It shouldn't take more then a couple of days for all the claims to process, it will take a bit longer because of this being cut day for every thing to process. 

[Cpt slay a ho]

I'm going to all cap this soon for fuggin sakes..........gettis or ae or any wr not name smith,lafell,hixon making plays on "3rd string" cbs or scrubs has nothing to do with there ability to play.......you guys do understand that he was fighting for the 3,4,5 wr spot so in reality if he was put in the game he would face a teams 3rd string cb..........unless they had have him line up somewhere else....and when he did get time with the ones he extended drives by getting an illegal contact penalty

So can we please cut the playing against scrub stuff....call it how it is he probably got cut for numerous things but his ability to play most likely wasn't it.....I'm disappointed in this cut but i'll trust the people who get big bucks to make these decisions until they show otherwise

Such a weird system, I don't really get the point. Basically "He's injured, but you can have him if you want. Or we could keep him. Honestly don't really care."

[TheRed]

I think Edwards will be a non-factor and should be cut, but I think that's irrelevant to Gettis.

Yeah what does Gettleman know, he's only got nearly 30 years in the business. What an amateur.

He should listen to the huddle, they definitely know better.

[Sloth]

I doubt he stays on IR long, there's not really a point to stashing a player on the last year of his contract, especially if we're not looking to extend him.  Pretty sure an injury settlement is coming quickly.

[koolkatluke]

I also agree with Rum on only having 5 WR. Special with the question Marks in the group from #3 to #5. I hope they can pick up a 6th Wr this week.

It's against the rules the just outright release someone with an injury.

[CRA]

I think he's gone for the same reason Adams is. We signed someone who does their exact job way better.

I don't think there was ever a Gettis vs. Edwards question, they fill totally different roles. I think Edwards will be a non-factor and should be cut, but I think that's irrelevant to Gettis.

I don't really disagree with any of that

@jjones9: The four waived/injured players were injured Thursday. Can't outright cut guy who's injured. If they aren't claimed in a day they go to IR

So I believe it's 24 hours
