Titans claimed former Texans’ LB Zach Cunningham on waivers, per source

[Einstein]

We are before titans in the waiver order arent we? Thought it went worst to best record?

We're after them in stats right now.

Not with that $10,000,000 injury guarantee clause, no.

That and the tdl was a month ago

I don't know the contract rules after a player is cut. Since Houston is eating a chunk of dead money and cut him, why does his final year of contract stay in play? Couldn't someone have negotiated that injury insurance clause out of his new contract? Asking for a friend

It stays because that's his contract, but I believe none of the money is guaranteed so that's minimal risk.
The insurance clause? That's non-negotiable bro. He paid the premiums.

Thanks for the explanation.

MM should have fought for LVE's replacement because the Boys aren't going anywhere with LVE on the field.

I think there’s a ‘V-word’ involved.

 

[Reid1boys]

another thread thats allowed. I guess it is just when I start a thread it gets moved. I want to follow the rules, I just cant figure it out. I better go read some more.

He's a Vegetarian?

That's sick.
That's... that's just sick.

I would've offered the Texans a late round draft pick for him before the Texans released him.

Like the Jets did with Flacco & the Eagles ! No thanks Jerry doesn’t need to start throwing draft picks out the window for a rent a LB who may not help all that much.

 

[RonWashington]

Speaking of which can Gifford & Bernard not take any snaps other then mop up duty or special teams? I remember watching Joe Thomas running around and thinking isn’t anyone on the sidelines any better ?

 

[Ranched]

That is very enlightening. Thanks for the info.

Zack Cunningham would've helped more than a late round draft pick that most likely doesn't make the team.

Farniok is on the team Donovan Wilson and Anthony Brown are on the team . All late picks off the top of my head. Past rounds one and two and the obvious talent it’s Will McClays job with the scouts fill in a competitive roster . You start throwing draft picks away you end up like the Rams team full of aging vets the previous teams were glad to get rid of .

The odds of a late round draft pick sticking on the active roster are slim to none. Those players you mentioned only stuck because of lack of roster talent. You aren't using a premium draft pick on him.
I would gladly take a team with the talent of the Rams over this team. They are serious Super Bowl contenders. We are not.

 

[RonWashington]

I disagree completely . The Rams may not make the playoffs and for good reason Matt Stafford won zip in Detroit
