    WR Joe Adams was waived/injured from the Panthers. 2012 4th round pick who has been battling a calf injury in camp. While I had questions on his personality coming out, I'm not going to lie, I would like to grab is as our fifth WR if he checks out.

    In case you guys forgot, his human joystick punt return against TN . . .

    I don't know, he just makes a lot of sense to me, but I could just be a homer.

    One thing to be careful of with the waiver claims is putting a claim on too many guys. You may be tempted to put claims on a bunch of guys knowing that you probably won't get some of them, however that can get you in trouble.

    Omar Kelly recently revealed that in 2010 when the Dolphins mysteriously put CB Will Allen on Injured Reserve even though he was set to be healthy within about 4 to 6 weeks of the start of the season, the reason was because Jeff Ireland put out too many waiver claims and the Dolphins were awarded more of them than they expected. I believe that was the year we pulled guys like Robert Rose, Jeremy Parnell and maybe Clifton Geathers off waivers.

    If you recall, there was an ensuing mini-spat between the team and Will Allen's agent because the agent was lobbying for an injury settlement which would allow Will to go ahead and sign with a different team once Allen was healthy enough to do so. The Dolphins resisted the idea and chose instead to pay him I believe upwards of $5 million to sit on Injured Reserve, so that they would have his rights in 2011.

    Putting out too many waiver claims can prove costly.

    I've always felt that Ireland did too much tinkering with the back end of the roster. I get that it was the only area Parcells gave him final say on, but I thought it hurt our STs performance and limited player development. I hadn't even considered the waiver wire situation above. But I agree that this thread is not about that. That was a good illustrative example of why we shouldn't just put in waiver claims on every player that could be interesting.

    Unless you have a major crush on someone, let them pass through waivers and then invite them in for a tryout and have them sign a FA contract. For early career players it should not make a difference in their salaries. You may miss a couple that way but I think it will keep your roster and your special teams from experiencing too much turmoil.

    From the players perspective , if that is accurate it is not a ringing endorsement of whomever was responsible, imo . Not pertaining to you know who , but overall it wold be tough to lose a significant portion of a year as a player , dispite being being paid well.

    It certainly fits. I remember that year the Dolphins did indeed claim a lot of guys off waivers. I remember Rose, Parnell and Geathers but I think there may have been another. I forget. I also remember the really strange circumstances surrounding Will Allen's release and how he was scheduled to be healthy in like a month but they still put him on IR and then refused the injury settlement his agent offered them which would have saved them millions of salary.

    Pretty sure Omar is right about this one.

    Interesting player to get cut.

    Really wouldn't mind taking a look at him. The Patriots always pump our players for information so why can't it work in reverse? Bills will probably also put in a claim though.

    Actually I suspect they are renting Cb's with high picks but not resigning them as it is just easier to draft a cb then to pay Sean Smith money for SS performance when they hit FA.

    Except the footing for that idea goes out the window as soon as they cut them before they even become FAs, not to mention Dowling has played like 9 games total for the Pats. Hell, at least in the case of Sean Smith we get the chance at a compensatory pick, cutting the players provides no such benefit.

    They waived a decent safety and let one walk via FA as well.

    As for the "footing", why pay to develop them in yr #3 and #4 only to pay them for the time they trained them and already paid them to learn their job.


    Wheatley, Butler and Dowling all lasted 3 yrs then out the door, which is why it appears to me they are just renting them not really developing them.

    IIRc, Dowling broke a leg or had a similar serious injury when he first got to NE, making his window even smaller then avg

    How does that make any sense? Renting these raw rookie prospects then letting them go before you can develop them into at least serviceable players. Those guys you named have all done ****, what positive's can you get out of that philosophy?

    They didn't release Dowling because they didn't want to pay him, they released him because he couldn't stay on the field, and Butler was just garbage.

    Butler wound up being a good Cb, and I suspect their outlook is they won't pay to train them and then pay them as FA's as well, to contrast that with our situation, we paid Sean Smith to learn his job, then KC paid him what 6 million per yr for that training?

    NE would rather give you two or three years, and draft position does not translate to playing time, you play yr 1 or you have a tough time seeing the field.
