ThurmanThomasEnglishMuffin Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Just a friendly reminder about waivers https://dknation.draftkings.com/nfl/2021/8/30/22648201/nfl-waiver-wire-rules-2021-which-team-has-top-priority-claims-order ^ compares NFL waivers/ cuts vs fantasy football, but a good overview Quote Who goes through waivers? Players with less than four years of accrued service time are subject to waivers. A player with at least four years of accrued service time, referred to as a “vested veteran” immediately becomes a free agent and is eligible to sign with any other team. So during cut downs, younger players you want to stash on the PS (still 16 slots) and not be subject to waivers are 'kept on the 53' at cut down. To do so, you may need to cut a veteran with 4+ accrued seasons, with a 'gentleman's agreement' that they will be brought back after the younger players are assigned to the PS. As a Free agent the vested veteran decides where they go to, and are not subject to a 'first claim' through the waiver process. Over the Cap shows Jacob Hollister with 4 accrued seasons and is thus not subject to waivers. Making this more confusing are the rules about when a player is put on PUP/IR and if or when they are eligible to come back during the season. I have a feeling Hollister is very much in line with the Roberts type of move of last year, especially given how few TEs are actually on the roster.

It is just so refreshing looking forward to see what the front office does versus getting prepared to defend their decisions as in the past.

section122 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 58 minutes ago, Dr. Who said: Yes, I actually posted on the generic scenario and agreed with the Sweeney IR likelihood upthread. Your tone did not make sense to me, but understandable if you were ignorant concerning the other TE cuts. I like Becker, so I hope we bring him back to PS. I'm conflicted bc I'm fully in the Hollister is just a guy camp but that TE depth is scary thin so I'm hopeful (and pretty sure as you state) he will be back. I'm guessing the 2 TEs is with idea Gilliam will serve as the emergency and 3rd TE. 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: right on cue lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 2 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Good. I think he's Bam Johnsons replacement. Maybe it's because I'm an ardent advocate for modern usage of the FB but I think that having the option does far more for our offense than an extra body on defense.

Gilliam looks like a good football player, but where does he get listed on the roster? Fullback or Tight End? If he's a Fullback, is he on the RB depth chart? Since he's a good special teams player, does that mean he will be active every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can line up at TE but at 6'1" he is a little small to be a true TE. Big Model Swiss Army Knife. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was listed as a TE last year and blocked a lot as a FB/HB and was active on Special Teams most weeks once they got him active. He is multipositional and will do whatever is needed - a perfect fit for this roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Back2Buff said: I'm perfectly fine with Bass kicking in the end zone every kick off and we shouldn't be punting too much. You really shouldn't need more than Neal, Kumerow, Smith, and Matakevich as ST aces. A strong ST unit translates into good field position which translates into more trips to the red zone. We certainly benefitted from that last season. At least on paper, it doesn't look like we're going to start on ST as strong as last season, even with Jones. It's easy for fans to undervalue special teams, but it's a lot more than just kicking into the end zone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
