Tommy to the Raiders

[kmax]

Mellott waived

Just saw that. Practice squad or CFL?

Have to think he is on the practice squad IF he clears waivers.

[MTnative]

Dammit.

Well I hope Tommy can stick around and be close to the NFL somehow. He deserves that chance.

[BelligerentBobcat]

Bummer. Hopefully he makes the practice squad.

I’d have to think he’ll clear waivers.

The Raiders cut Cam Miller as well. Poor roster management not to get your six rounders onto the team IMO

[MSUBRONCO]

I guess as a bronco fan I dont need to worry about a conflict this year, hopefully somone else takes him

Practice squad will be announced around 2 pm tomorrow, so I guess we'll have to wait and see

How long does it take to clear waivers in NFL?

As a not-bronco fan, I have to suffer through a cold November Thursday Night Football game. The GF is a Bronkeys fan so I guess it could be worse....

As someone who lives in CO and is a Bears fan I hope he a) stays in the AFC West, b) goes to the Bears or c) goes to the Lions/Vikings as the NFC North is on tv sometimes here and those teams are good and the division is often on tv in Montana.

[MSU01]

Bummer, but I think the worst case scenario here is Tommy makes a Practice Squad and has the chance to continue to develop his skills. Look at Alex Singleton and Ty Okada, it's not always an easy path to get there but it can happen.

[wbtfg]

I had a feeling that would probably be the case. Hopefully he catches on with a practice squad.

Using that logic for TV I need Seattle to pick him up,lol

This is what I was thinking. Especially when you pretty much give Tommy 0 chance to show what he can do in the preseason?

Yea, didn’t like Raiders before, really don’t like them now.

My thoughts too! They hardly played him in the preseason so how can he find any rhythm? Hopefully another team can manage his talent better and give him a chance. He certainly needs time to develop, so practice squad does make sense.

Question though... what is the difference between being waived and being cut? Aren't they essentially the same thing? Excuse my NFL ignorance

[CatBlitz]

Helps when you have a QB that can throw you the ball too.

Tommy deserves to be in a way better system.

[BelligerentBobcat]

He likely wasn’t doing enough in practice to warrant more playing time. It was always more likely he’d make the practice squad, he’s a developmental player. This isn’t uncommon.

I believe if you are a player with four or less years in the league that is waved AND another team picks you up within (24 hours ? Think it used to be longer) they honor/assume your original contract. If you are a veteran of over four years and cut, you are free to immediately negotiate a new contract with other teams or something like that.
