Henson to the Pats?

[eduncan22]

The fact that Henson has cleared waivers and is still unsigned says something. I'm kind of surprised but it sure dampens the controversy surrounding his being released.

Its cut down week.

Henson will sign with another team b/c every teams needs a 2nd/3rd string QB.

If no one did not want him no one will pick him up at all. I don't know the reason why they would wait but until after the cuts are made but it does appear there is some interest how much we will find out.

Well they haven't picked him up and they could have...Are you telling me that no team thinks he's better than their 3rd stinger RIGHT NOW.

Now If Henson is being Choosey then all bets are off.

Uhh...you do realize that it is a two way street. It's not like Henson has gone through three different teams and is a revolving door QB.

"Its cut down week."

This is the best answer I have seen thus far. He is free to sign with anyone. Yet everyone is trimming their roster down to 53. Why add a player to the confusion of trimming a roster. Wait until after the dust has settled, see if you have room to add a guy at QB. Wait and see if an unexpected QB becomes available. Why sign an unkown guy (vs a Kerry Collins who is a known commoditie, and the Raiders and George are just the Raiders being themselves) now before game 1, when if he is on your roster week 1 you are obligated to pay him for the whole year?

although great too, the wings on Terry diving into the endzone is much better

It's good but the angel wings make that a cool and different sig.

Here's another one I like. So true.

Why wouldn’t you trade Martin Gramatica instead of just releasing him? I'm sure that someone needs a kicker.
Michael Logue
No team in their right mind would trade for Martin Gramatica. The Patriots got a late-round draft pick for Brandon Gorin and he started at tackle for a Super Bowl team. Kickers like Gramatica grow on trees. Let’s just hope the Patriots don’t need to go picking from that tree later on this season.

Sorry, but just one more. Hey, can we have a LB please. Who do you want?? Be reasonable.

Hi all, I just read that the Patriots traded Brandon Gorin to the Cardinals. My question is, wouldn't it have been better for the Patriots to trade him to Dallas for one of their linebackers? It seems like they have plenty. The same goes for Ross Tucker. Thanks for reading, keep up the good work!
Dave Bui
I think the Patriots shopped around Gorin and took the best deal on the table. If they really liked one of the Cowboys linebackers and they could have traded Gorin for that player, they would have done so. They way I see it; the Patriots like next year’s draft class and are stockpiling picks. They not only got two draft picks through trades, they should also make out pretty well on compensatory selections as well. They received two additional draft picks for players who most likely wouldn’t have made their roster. If you ask me, that’s good business. And as far as Cowboys linebackers go, don’t forget about Oliver Hoyte. He’s playing well but with their depth at linebacker, his best shot to make the team is probably the practice squad. Hey, I’m still trying to get my boy in New England.

I think who ever picks him up continue to work with him. This is his 3rd season in the NFL and who ever picks him up with do so as a developmental project. He is not going in as a backup at this stage

I think you nailed it with the first part. It is just easier to wait until the final cuts to sign him if a team wants him. He won't get enough practice time in to really be able to participate in the final pre-season games. Teams may want to give their current back ups opportunities to play to see if they are worth keeping or cutting. Plus teams may want to see what kind of injuries they may get in this final pre-season week before going to find another QB. There should be no rush when finding a 3rd string QB.

I don't know if your last sentence is true. You have to be a vested veteran to earn a guaranteed salary for the season. I believe a players needs 4 years of service to be considered vested veteran.
