Final 53 questions and possible F.A. replacement signings

I was surprised to see Tre Norwood go but nobody seems too fussed - did I miss something? I thought he was developing well last year

 

I think Tre's injury did not help his cause

 

I'm not sure what Belichick is up to. He cut the entire QB room with the exception of Mack Jones. Obviously he isn't going into the season with only one QB so he has something up his sleeve. Zappe was 2-0 as a starter last year with the Pats and completed over 70% of his passes. So I'm not sure what strategy Bill has planned but we will find out soon.

 

Pierre's pre season stats:

 

Fehoko only has three years, so he has to clear waivers.

 

Labriola explained this a bit in yesterdays asked and answered, I'm still SMH because strokes have my by brain slow, lol. This is his answer to the question of signing PS players after the cut.

The first step is cutting the roster to 53 players, and then there is a 24-hour period where other teams can place waiver claims on those who were waived or can try to sign veterans who were released and not subject to waivers. Once the 24-hour period passes, those players who were not claimed on waivers or signed by other teams are eligible to be signed to practice squads. And in general, it's a free-for-all at that point, very similar to the end of the draft when teams are permitted to sign undrafted rookies. Here is a rough timeline that governs that process:

• Tuesday, Aug. 29, 4 p.m. EDT: Deadline for all teams to have their rosters at the 53-man limit. There are two categories of players: waived players (players with fewer than four years of credited NFL service), or termination of vested veterans (players with four years or more of credited service). Vested veterans can sign with any team. Waived players are subject to the claiming system.

• Tuesday, Aug. 29, 7 p.m. EDT: Teams will be informed via NFL email of all players who have been released.

• Wednesday, Aug. 30, Noon EDT: Deadline for teams to submit claims on any waived players.

• Wednesday, Aug. 30, 1 p.m. EDT: Teams will be informed of any players they have been awarded under the waiver system. Once notified, each team has one hour to notify the league of a corresponding removal of a player or players from their 53-man roster to make room for the claimed player or players.

• Wednesday, Aug. 30, 6 p.m. ET: Deadline for teams to submit their 16-player practice squads to the league. The league will post each team's practice squad in an email to teams by 8 p.m. the same day.

 

desmond king to sign.

 

Don't get the Tom Brady is coming out of retirement rumor started..at least not here! lmao

 

see how quick the rumor spreads, lol. I imagine twitter will soon be hot with the topic. lol

 

I never thought of that, boy that would be terrible. No I think Bill has some type of back room deal with another team that involves Zappe or another QB. All I know that it probably is something that doesn't break the rules but will bend the hell out of them.

 

It has to be something schemed. Stupid to have only one QB, and Bill may ne a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them.

 

Thank You

 

He did this either last year or the year before, too, if I remember correctly. I am absolutely certain he has a side deal in place with another quarterback, a promise to take care of them as long as they don't sign elsewhere. It's the kind of shady **** he lives for.
