    It seems like it's such an obvious thing to have some kind of alert when a players gets waived, yet it wouldn't surprise me if Lombardi and Holmgren (to a lesser degree Heckert & Banner) 'didn't believe in' that newfangled technology.

  • Similar to the Charles Johnson pickup, though we seemed caught off guard by that one. Great stash, though.

    Great pick up, just has to keep the weight down. I was reading this on profootballtalk.com and they were saying we did the Hawks dirty by doing this. Anyway, little moves like this for depth only make us better.

    hey if you cut somebody, you think other teams won't take a look at signing them?

  • People are pissed because there is suposed to be an unspoken rule where you don't grab players being waived so they can go on IR. I think those people can go fuck themselves. This is in the rules for a reason. Seattle didn't actually want to waive him, they wanted him on the IR. They took the risk of letting him go just to bring in another camp body and they lost the gamble. I believe the Patriots did this 1 or 2 years ago with the NY Giants starting TE.

  • Completely fair. Most unwritten rules are stupid.

  • Fugg Seattle.

    How could we be doing the Seahawks dirty? They released him. If they wanted to keep him then they could have stashed him on IR or PUP or some other list. But they realeased him. You know, released. Let go. Said sayonara to...you know?

    They did it again the other day.

    Exactly- if they wanted to protect him that badly, they just could flat out have put him on IR. Or PUP.

    Cannot put a player who's been in the league less then 4 years on IR, apparently, before first roster cuts. Something like that, at least - he had to clear waivers before they could put him on IR. Same for us, he's taking up a roster spot while not playing. Not sure about PUP, but similar I guess.

    hawks did not intend to part ways.

    players must clear waivers (all 31 other teams must pass on him) in order to be "stashed" on IR...hence the "did em dirty" suggestion.

    👍

  • Jags sniped Don Carey from us in '09 in the same manner. We have enough camp bodies for now....but stashing high potential injured players every year can be a nice way to continually supplement talent. Nice add on strategy to go with the normal avenues.

    Once IR is eligible, stash him and hit the waivers.

  • BS. If it's a genius move for Belichick to grab Gaffney, this is a genius move for Cleveland.

  • GM doing his job corectly. Browns need quality depth for the long run in the O line.

  • OK, so, we got Bowie. Did we get The Spiders from Mars to go with him?
