But is nobody bothered about from a sporting integrity point of view - same with Veldheer. He played for Baltimore this season so his season should have ended when Bills eliminated the Ravens last weekend. He doesn't deserve a ring in 2020 and for me its wrong if he gets one. Surely it cheapens everything about being a super bowl champ if you can be beaten in the playoffs and just play for someone else next week. Are we going to see more of this ? Veterans being released early when they get knocked out so he can play for someone else next week ? How long before a player plays for three teams in the play offs ? If we lose at the weekend, lets say we decide to release Dean Lowrey and he signs for Tampa Bay and wins the superbowl. How would people feel about him being able to put on his resume that he is a superbowl champion in 2020 whilst the rest of the team drown their sorrows. Nothing against Tramon - from a professional point of view, he is going to do the best for his career. But it all feels wrong and the NFL need to stop this. As a minimum players shouldn't be allowed to play in the playoffs for two different teams. I'm also uncomfortable about players who fail to make the play off then jumping onto another roster for a cheap shot at a ring. I do agree what we've done is a little unethical even if it is just a 5th CB/backup LT. There really should be roster freezes in the playoffs.

This is a complete whataboutism, but you'd feel differently if Tampa signed a nice player. I'm not going to hate on Gutey for playing by the rules. I just think it is a bad precedent/rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a lot of us don’t remember so much meaningful roster shuffling happening this late in the season before. (I mean, this is the week before the conference championship games.) Rison comes to mind, but even that was before post season play began. If the league rules allow it I can’t get too worked up about it. I get the sentiment that it’s poor form and different from the rules other leagues have, but a sentiment is different from an objection. Some do seem to be objecting to the fact that the league hasn’t frozen rosters for the playoffs. Your point is taken: If Derrick Henry is released in late January he wouldn’t make it past waivers with teams who aren’t playing now. That Mark Ingram and Tramon Williams made it through waivers just means the system works as designed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playoff teams are literally last in line to get these guys if anyone else wanted them. They're fringe roster players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get beat up the first two weeks of the playoffs are you just supposed to eat that hit? Derrick Henrys arent getting released though, it's old bottom of the rung vets. Fill in dudes. Veldheer was on the roster for two weeks, same with Tramon. Theyre filler, we just happen to know their names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACKRULE Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Not to anyone who posted but we have not done anything unethical at all. We are working well within the rules outlined. If we were lets say taking video or putting out bounties that could be an issue but this is not. Gute has done a fine job of tinkering with the bottom of the roster as the NFL has allowed for the season. BB has been lauded by many for doing stuff like this his entire career I'm both surprised and not surprised by the latest round of comments on this. When TT sat on his hands many groaned now that Gute has his hands in motion many groan. Good for him looking to push the chips in within the rules. Regardless go pack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
