Was awarded one. Didnt get this one. So guess Thomas and O'Leary may not be that secure going forward. Clay really cant do anything with him due to contract.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 They signed one so they clearly were looking for one. I doubt they would have signed two. With a lack of WR and Dennison's won't to use two TEs a lot, I always thought they were going to keep four and not three on the roster. Especially with Thomas being so raw. Thomas may be the one to go, although I hope they keep and develop him. But I doubt O'Leary is in danger. Anything is possible with this new regime of course. I just think we keep four TE most of the time.

So if a team with higher priority didnt out a claim they would have been awarded two. That is ominous for how they feel about Thomas and or O'Leary

So if a team with higher priority didnt out a claim they would have been awarded two. That is ominous for how they feel about Thomas and or O'Leary I don't think you have to take the waiver claim. Otherwise teams would never be able to put in two to try to get one position filled. The league advises the teams that they won the waiver claim but I'm pretty sure the team can say we just filled the position and then the league goes on to the next team. I'm not positive of it but that's how I understand it.

Nope they get him multiple teams claim the same player, the club with the highest waiver priority gets him. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/nfl/2014/2/3/5351372/2014-nfl-waiver-wire-how-it-works-guide So they were willing to put two outside TEs on their roster
Pbomb Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 he has 8 catches in his NFL careermore than the other guy they did get, guessing they both must be blocking te

Want more Irish players on this team
dgrochester55 Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 They failed to get Oshack Hennessey? They done messed up! Insubordinate and churlish!

JaCrispy Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) man I hope they get rid of Thomas...dudes gonna be a baller like Antonio Gates imo...he is basically the tight we have always been looking for and we got him on the cheap. Edited September 4, 2017 by JaCrispy
JoeF Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 They failed to get Oshack Hennessey? They done messed up! Insubordinate and churlish! First thing I thought of....
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 Sorry but that link and article said nothing about what we were talking about. It says you have to take the player if you put a claim in. Thats how it works. So they had at least two TE claims in. Meaning they were willing to out two TE on this roster
Wayne Arnold Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 They had at least Two Waiver claims in. Was awarded one was not awarded one. So if a team with higher priority didnt out a claim they would have been awarded two. That is ominous for how they feel about Thomas and or O'Leary Or they...you know, simply wanted to add a fourth tight end. Not everything is so dramatic and/or "ominous".
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 First thing I thought of.... I wonder if A-Aron Williams might sign with us?
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 Or they...you know, simply wanted to add a fourth tight end. Not everything is so dramatic and/or "ominous". Claimed two
Sandy McFiddish Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 He takes way too many penalties, it is not worth his run blocking ability, which is marginal at best.
dpberr Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Triple tight end sets! I'm actually intrigued if that'd work. That might be Key and Peele's greatest bit. They've been smart not to do more. It's perfect as it is. Cracks me up everytime.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) I've read the article twice. It doesn't say that at all. I even went and looked on about another 10 links and no where does it state the team is required/forced to sign him. It doesn't state they are NOT required, but doesn't state they are required either. All of the links are stated in language that assumes the team wants the player, so the team "gets him" It says you have to take the player if you put a claim in. Thats how it works.So they had at least two TE claims in. Meaning they were willing to out two TE on this roster Edited September 4, 2017 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch
Wayne Arnold Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Claimed two How do you know the second tight end they claimed didn't have a condition?
