Not a joke.
No. It is no joke.
Signing more players because he was slotted as the top kick returner? It would seem they don't need to sign any more WRs, given that they have 7 remaining on the roster, right? Or have they cut some of them as well?I read this as a definite bump for Gaffney.
I didn't say they were signing another WR (although anything is possible), only that I believe it means they need a roster spot to use for someone else. THey kep CJ Jones, so he would move up to top kick returner.Also interesting that going back and forth with Reiss I was the one thinking Jones would stick and Reiss thought he didn't have much chance . . .
He's been cut so many times before. I watched him in NFLE a number of times and he's a good effort guy, not the best WR. He's been cut by the Browns, Hawks, and Pats? some of those teams a couple times? Awesome determination by that young man.Even if he gets cut for some pickup, he made an NFL team. Good for him
of coursethe old draft hype will get him at least another shot, even if it's for a day or two
When you can't make the cut playing with Tom Brady...I have my doubts he will be anything in this league. I understand he had injury issues...but not this off-season and training camp. To give up on him is a clear sign he does not have what it takes.So, now that the shock is wearing off, does anyone see cjax getting picked up by anyone?I could see Cincy, for one...Or Oakland, big Al's senile way way of evening up last year's Moss deal
To be fair, he didn't play with Brady at all this preseason.One thing that strikes me is that the a fair amount of Pats offense is based on both receiver and QB reading the Def., and by all accounts the Chad wasn't the most astute student of the game. He may well be a very capable receiver in a simplified offense. He seems to have the physical skills that would translate well. I can see a WR starved team taking a look.When you can't make the cut playing with Tom Brady...I have my doubts he will be anything in this league.

New England's bar is a lot higher than many of the teams. He'll get a shot somewhere.
I haven't been able to see most of the preseason games. How has Slater looked in the kick return game? I thought he may be the guy there, freeing up Hobbs & Welker from the KR & PR roles. Disappointment? or has CJ Jones looked better?
If two teams claim Chad Jackson, the team with the worst record has priority. So your list might look like this:MiamiOaklandKansas CityCincinnatiPhiladelphiaTampa BayClevelandTennesseeSeattleDallas JacksonvilleHere is a question: since Miami already claimed a WR from waivers, do they lose their place in the priority rankings?
And New England traded up to get C Jackson.
Even the so called g-d like front office can have a bust too.I am seeing some posts thinking he can catch on somewhere else. Hey maybe..he is only 24 and maybe this will wake him up. But he had the golden of golden opportunites to play with one of the best QB's the league has ever seen and he blew it.That speaks very loudly to me. I have promptly cut him off a couple of rosters after holding out some hope that he would break thru as a WR3 on that team this year. Now I rather park someone with some upside as his as of right now is zero.And New England traded up to get C Jackson.
He's actually just 23 (birthday in March). Still really young. No doubt he'll get picked up in waivers, if just for his tremendous raw athletic skills (unless there's something really bad we don't know about). It'll be interesting to see where he goes.
No.Here is a question: since Miami already claimed a WR from waivers, do they lose their place in the priority rankings?
Yes, he certainly has some realistic value. I think it was more of a chemistry issue than anything in New England. I don't see it as a talent factor at all.Buddy Ryan once cut soon-to-be Hall of Famer Cris Carter because "all he did was catch touchdowns." He didn't like him, and Belichick didn't like Jackson. Doesn't mean he can't play.
on its own? not likely.I'm sure it was a conglomerate of things going all the way back to his rookie season and Brady's comment that "he [jackson] needs to be committed to football".So, I'm guessing that even if the Jets or Bills or Chiefs grab him for recon reasons, it won't help much; he still doesn't know the playbook.\
"catch touchdowns" was code for "blow".
Let me guess, Mort? lol that wouldn't surprise me. Mort's a moron. And that doesn't say anything about the Raiders trying him out, just speculates that Al Davis loves a guy like Chad Jackson...
Guessed wrong:(KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports the Oakland Raiders will meet with free-agent WR Chad Jackson (Patriots) Tuesday, Sept. 2.
didn't they JUST sign Lelie?? how many freaking WRs do they want on their roster??
