All sources I can find mention a 24h waiver period, so he should have already passed through, right?
For some reason there is nothing in the NFL rulebook about waivers.

You jump into threads and make alot of statements without doing any research. It really is not that hard to back up some of your assertions with facts. For example, take a look at what mullysavage accomplished a few posts below yours for inspiration. Or are you only into the hotsportstakes?j44thor said:
Nice trolling. Deion Branch career high is 78 rec for 998 yards. Surely you aren't that obtuse.

Excellent work, mulluysavage. Perhaps include TE's and re-calculate the percentages? Watson, Graham, Gronk & Hernandez would change the %'s pretty dramatically, I think.
JohnnyK said:Come to think about it, it kinda makes sense as the claiming team cannot open up the necessary roster spot on gameday.
lexrageorge said:When discussing David Givens, keep in mind that his career ended 5 games after he left the Patriots due to a very serious knee injury that was basically horrible luck. During his time with the Pats, he looked as if he was on his way to a decent career.
soxfan121 said:
No, you said every team had drafted a Givens in the 7th round...and then provided a list of 3rd-7th round picks. That doesn't "prove your case".
You could have admitted your initial claim turned out - once you researched it - to not be true but you've instead shifted the goal posts to 3rd-7th round AND made another unsupported assertion about something that can, if researched, be proven.
All I'm asking is that you back up your theories with evidence. It's been a basic requirement at SoSH for years, whether here, the main board, RMPS...everywhere. When you make an assertion, you need to show your work.

For the record, only 6 players drafted in the 7th or 8th round since 2002 have more catches than Givens: Colston, Kevin Walter, Steve Johnson, Crayton, Edelman, Curry.

We are still waiting to hear back from Ken as to whether he is signing on to sosh to be his official fan club. Stay tuned...Ed Hillel said:My heart is racing, any news???
There have been zero draft choices of any kind, at any position, with any success, in the 8th round, since 2002.DrewDawg said:

How the hell did it take him 2 hours from Providence?TomTerrific said:I found this quote from Cincinnati Enquirer football beat writer Paul Daugherty amusing:
"I listened to WEEI on the two-hour drive from Providence, Boston's all-sports station. The two hosts talked the ENTIRE TIME about the Patriots releasing former UC wideout Kenbrell Thompkins. That's two more hours than anyone ever talked about him here."

Every WR who has come in here the last 15 years was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. Precious few took advantage of it. I feel badly for none of these guys.mpx42 said:Poor KT.
Stitch01 said:KT came in as a barely recruited UDFA and has turned it into at least a two year career in the league. That's not nothing.
caesarbear said:So Thompkins had a very good game. I know there's a lot of Tymes fans but Thompkins can run more than one route and had earned some measure of rapport with Brady. Seems like he would have been great insurance for LaFell.
Another myth that's too easily accepted because the media says so.caesarbear said:He's also got Derek Carr throwing to him. Not saying that we missed out on a future probowler, just that finding receivers Brady clicks with is not so easy.
Did Brady even click with him? He did not get a ton of targets this year.caesarbear said:He's also got Derek Carr throwing to him. Not saying that we missed out on a future probowler, just that finding receivers Brady clicks with is not so easy.
Said as a shorthand for receivers working out with the Patriots. I'm not talking about a Felgerism. Put it this way, outside of Edelman, Thompkins was the most successful rookie pick-up since Givens and Branch. And it's not like Edelman was Brady's binky to start with. Thompkins was a chance to mold a dependable receiver that would have cost much less than Amendola.lexrageorge said:Another myth that's too easily accepted because the media says so.

He had fewer receptions and yards than Dobson last year in more snaps (pretty sure on last bit). At the very least you need to recognize Dobson here as equal or greater.caesarbear said:, Thompkins was the most successful rookie pick-up since Givens and Branch.
caesarbear said:Next year would be the first to allow cutting Amendola and saving a little cap space. With Dobson's broken foot screw-up leaving him as a question mark and nothing from Boyce, just seems like Thompkins would have been a safe and cheap option is all.
Ed Hillel said:
Amendola isn't worth cutting for 1.6 million in savings, particularly since the Pats aren't up against it as far as the cap is concerned.
I guess I'll go back to being silent then.changer591 said:I love the 2 months of total silence regarding KT, and then after a single decent game, suddenly he was the best rookie WR since Branch and Givens.
But that's not a Brady issue. Which of the drafted WRs have gone on to do much of anything in the league? Probably Tate who is more of a KR than a WR.caesarbear said:Said as a shorthand for receivers working out with the Patriots. I'm not talking about a Felgerism.
