BillsMafi$ Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) The #Browns have claimed rookie pass rusher Curtis Weaver off waivers from the #Dolphins, source said. Miami waived its fifth-round pick as injured with the intention of putting him on IR. Instead, a fresh start. -Tom Pelissero Edited August 25, 2020 by BillsMafi$ 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Wow. What an absolute mess. They didn't have to waive him to IR him surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) oh that guy, lots of sacks at Boise State but fell to the fifth round #164 pick per wikipedia After redshirting his first year at Boise State in 2016, Weaver played in all 14 games in 2017, recording 33 tackles, 11 sacks and one interception.[1] As a redshirt sophomore in 2018, he had 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks.[2][3] During his redshirt junior year in 2019, he set the Mountain West Conference record for career sacks. and was Mountain West Conf defensive player of the year 4] ....After this season, Weaver announced that he would forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the 2020 NFL Draft.[5] Edited August 25, 2020 by First Round Bust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t coming back this year so why not just IR him I just looked it up, apparently they had to wait until 9/5 to IR him without the waiver process. Seems like they could have done that for a draft pick. Oops is right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reasonable explanation for what the fish did is they probably hoped he would clear waiver and then go to IR. This way they could fill his roster spot with another player immediately. Pretty stupid unless they already knew they would cut him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I love dogging on the fish as much as anyone, but Miami had to expose him to waivers in order to claim the roster spot. Only after he cleared waivers could they place him on IR, as a non vested player has to clear waivers first. Its not usual for a team to take a chance on a player thats injured & claim them off waivers, as they'll have to pay him while being injured & Weaver's likely out for the whole year. Looks like they were simply rolling the dice & lost out on an intriguing prospect for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are its not a really big deal though so whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Along with AJ Epenesa and Donovan Peoples-Jones, Weaver was the other prospect who fell significantly in the draft that I was most surprised about. He had some legit 1st round buzz for a while, but I think he fell victim to some of the same combine pitfalls that got AJ. Not a bendy/twitchy athletic type at all, but a super productive college pass rusher with really good technique and football IQ. Who knows what kind of player he becomes in the pros, but a good upside move for the Browns and happy to see the Dolphins lose him. Wonder if Beane put in a claim or at least thought about it? We don't really have any roster spots to spare but Hughes/Addison etc ain't getting any younger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsey will be gone after another miserable Browns season and the new GM will cut him. Beane will bring him in for a look for peanuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your first round draft pick tears an ACL you have to waiver him in order to put him on IR? That doesn’t sound right to me. I think that’s only true before a certain date.

JerseyBills Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Are you kidding me?!? Wow !That's quite a blunder . I mean imagine Buf losing Milano,Neal , Vosean Joseph , all recent 5th rounders for something like this. Milano is a stud but Neal is a very valuable role player on D and Joseph was injured but def has potential. That's absolutely embarrassing for Dolphins F.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
