Instead of notifying the NFL of their decision to claim Shaw, they mistakenly emailed the other 31 teams. Edited July 2, 2016 by PromoTheRobot

Mr. WEO Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 "The Bears hold priority over the Saints in the waiver claiming order, and therefore would have landed Shaw with a claim regardless if they knew of the Saints' desire to get the South Carolina product." Anyway...
Big Turk Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) This story is just ridiculous. The reporter acts as if no other team knew that he was on waivers and the Saints had some type of inside information they inadvertently notified other teams of. What he is suggesting is simply nonsense. Now if the Saints did this during the draft and then another team traded up to jump over them to get that player, then yes, this would be a major blunder. As it is, it's really nothing...first of all the dude is a bum, second of all the Bears had priority over the Saints so if they put in a claim it didn't matter. It's not like the Bears were thinking "oh we gotta keep this 4th string QB from going to the Saints..." Give me a break...I also love how he put in there "it's unknown if this played a factor in the Bears claiming him." Basically, all this is is some guy who had nothing to write about, it's the time right before training camp when nothing's going on and he took some inconsequential blunder, which honestly probably made no difference and turned it into something way bigger than it was so you'd click on the story and read it. A total non story. Edited July 2, 2016 by matter2003

Best Player Available Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 The bigger question is did Loomis use his private e-mail account? Or the Saints secure server?
hondo in seattle Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 A QB so bad he was waived by the BROWNS in July is only barely newsworthy.

A total non story. Like the rest of them for the next three weeks. My sentiments exactly. These writers can't think of anything to cover except maybe a nice fluff piece on an undrafted free agent, or someone getting a DUI. THAT's a big so what.

YoloinOhio Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 The real outrage should be that the Browns just cut the best QB on the roster Shaw is now a Bear.reunited with Hoyer and it feels so good
Kirby Jackson Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 The Saints front office is one of the most inept in all of sports. They have a few guys that are, at best ok (Lauscha and Loomis) and then a bunch of strooges. These guys are comically stupid but have the trust of the senile old man. His inner circle is compromised of some of the worst minds in all of sports.

#34fan Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 One of my favorite QB's coming out of college... Great find for the Bears
Nanker Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 I can't believe that Whaley still has a job after this latest faux pas.
