Broaddus on Rico Gathers

[RS12]

 

[Proximo]

Cool. Would be nice if this project pans out.

 

[reddyuta]

that nice but i would be great if can block otherwise he is not getting promoted.

 

[The Quest for Six]

I hope one of those people he trusts isn't Jerry Jones.....

So what is BB agenda here. Why would he say this. Just has nothing else to tweet of any significance.
Just kidding.
I hope he is right, even though this doesn't mean anything until next year. But we will need TE's next year.
Witten a year older, need to groom / find his successor. Hanna coming off an injury, Escobar a FA. Swaim coming off an injury too.

Exactly. I don't think the Cowboys were counting on Gathers this season.

 

[kevm3]

Bring him in. Maybe he can block.

 

[viman96]

Fairly empty statement. Nice things about what?

 

[Nova]

Not much but it kind of is nice to see this second "up vote" comment for Gathers.

The guy was incredibly raw, but also is incredibly driven and could pan out to be a player.

This is why I want OJ Howard wearing a star on his helmet.

We'll all see next summer.

This is why I hate Twitter. The character limit allows mediots an excuse for just punching in 1-2 incoherent sentences that give little substance. Brilliant stuff.

 

[BAZ]

Is he still on the practice squad?

 

[sbark]

Similar story for the Colts, Swoope, just caught his 1st NFL TD from the TE spot also. Also a Bball player
took 2 years if I read it right.

Yes.

And he's making the rookie minimum, $450K.

These salaries are negotiable, but most PS players earn $6900K per week for a full regular season maximum of $117300K.

Practice squad salaries count against the salary cap.

 

[Bullflop]

Evidently, some people that have seen Gathers closely enough to be encouraged by his progress passed it on to Broaddus. I'll take that as a good sign that he's doing well until further evidence says otherwise. Since that's about all we have to go on right now, let's just take it as a good sign.

All these scrub practice squad guys are making 117 Million dollars per season? How much cap room do we get by cutting all of them?

I kid, I kid...

 

[Shuff]

Rico the next Gronk?

 

[RandyOh]

Rico the next Gronk?

The next Antonio Gates.... I hope

 

[NextGenBoys]

The next Antonio Gates.... I hope

Lol what? Gronk is way better than Gates ever was. Elite blocker at the position, which Gates never did.
