Gaither Cut

[lions2011]

go get him !!!!!!!!! lol



Jared Gaither - T - Chiefs

Chiefs waived OT Jared Gaither.
In Sunday night's loss to the Steelers, left tackle Brendan Albert needed to come out for one play. Gaither replaced him and immediately committed a costly false start penalty. Now the ex-Raven is out of a job.

Michiganalex would've made a thread, but fortunately he's not here.

 

[murktastic]

he probably got cut by both teams bcuz hes fat and doesnt have the will to compete anymore

 

[michiganmania]

I would not have a problem with signing him for the Vet minimum. Really no risk involved there and what happens if Jeff Backus-up gets injured? Have not heard anything on Fox in quite a while and he is still young.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He hasn't missed a game in 9 years so lets sign a backup, lol.

 

[michiganmania]

What do we have for depth right now? Not a whole lot. Just because he has been healthy does not mean that insurance is a bad thing. Either starting OT "could" get injured. Just saying it would not be bad to sign him as a cheap insurance policy. Not like I am saying we should sign and start the kid.

they have so many injuries on D right now , you cant justify a roster spot for this pylon.

 

[Mitchrapp]

You're assuming he's better than our depth right now. He's been cut twice this season, what makes you think he can hack it anymore?

 

[michiganmania]

For the Vet minimum I have no problem signing guys who were once something and probably nothing right now for depth. I can definitely agree with Slick that our injuries on defense are far more concerning. It will be tough to slow down NO this week with our DBs banged up.

 

[Mitchrapp]

A vet minimum? Its more to it than that. Roster spot. Even without defensive players out. You don't bring in a guy who was once good who knows how long ago and take up a roster spot.

 

[michiganmania]

Not going to argue that a roster spot is important and really not wanting to argue over what would be a depth guy anyway. I was just saying that it would not bother me if they signed him for depth. There are more pressing concerns and even when/if Aaron Brown is released from his temporary roster spot I would agree that a defensive player would make more sense depending on where players are at with their recoveries.

Get this guy if you want to use a roster spot:

We could use him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He's playing well, and they were thinking about resigning him and a minor injury and he gets cut? That makes no sense.

I dunno maybe the injury is worse than reported but the guy was a special teams demon for the Bears.

 

[Mitchrapp]

As they say, NFL - Not For Long.

 

[grandy]

I'd rather they replace Raiola with an orange barrel before they sign Gaither.

 

[murktastic]

an orange barrel can't hike the ball tho haha

 

[Mitchrapp]

But an Orange barrel can block better though.

He signed with the Chargers to replace McNeill, who went on IR.
