Waiver Claims - post for any Hawks claims

Not surprising we put in a claim for TE, with McCoy ACL and recent Helfet inj., may see other claims for TE yet

#Lions weren't the only team interested in Egnew, a former 3rd-round pick. #Seahawks put in a claim, too. Detroit had priority (obviously).


Egnew's back on the street, released by DET

#Lions roster cuts: Chris Greenwood, Michael Egnew released http://sbnation.com/e/5851088

Seahawks were apparently the only other team to put a claim in on TE Michael Egnew last week, so now that he's cut in Detroit, watch him

Michael Egnew would be an interesting option at TE for us, although he would be a pure pass catcher for us.

Not sure why Detroit needs another TE, but maybe they could be considering letting go one of their vets or ???

Could be, Dr.Diags

Would you guys take Brandon Pettigrew as our 3rd TE?

I'm kind of hoping Marcedes Lewis gets cut in JAX.

And there is always Tony Gonzalez, ha, but he ain't gonna take a vet min.

Maybe we can coax Sean McGrath out of retirement.

Pettigrew or Lewis would be fine as a 3rd TE right now.

Michael Egnew is absolutely horrid, I'm shocked that the Hawks saw anything in him to put in a waiver claim. His former teammate at Mizzou, Justin Britt, must have owed him something fierce and put in a good word. My lord.

As for the Sean McGrath suggestion, besides the dubiousness of wanting a player who clearly has lost his passion for and commitment to the game, even if he 'unretired' he would belong to the Chiefs. You can't just 'retire' while under contract and then come back a month later and sign with another team.

Sorry, crab apple I wasn't being serious about it.

Favre was traded to the Jets. It was known to the Green Bay staff at the time, that Brett Favre wanted to play for the Vikings and asked to be released. Rather than grant his request, he was banished to wallow on the Jets roster for a season, before "retiring" and being released.

Again, Favre was released from his contract by the Jets, which thus allowed him to sign with the Vikings. He didn't simply 'retire' so he could instantly make himself a free agent and able to sign with another team. If players could do that then half the league would be 'retiring' every year. If Sean McGrath (who was under contract with KC) wanted to return to football he would be the property of the Chiefs unless and until they waived him, and he would not have the ability to sign with any other team until that happened, so stop making pretentious JPG replies on subjects you clearly don't understand.

Xavier Grimble, TE, was cut by the Giants. Some of the draft experts on here was touting him pre-draft. He's from USC. Maybe they put a waiver claim on him for the 3rd TE spot.

Xavier should have stayed at USC.

I think he's injured right now.

Interesting, a center? Lewis is a big boy (6-1, 311) -- I wonder if they will change his position?

Little bit of BIO info. He's played some Guard in college.

PRO: Second-year center was signed by the Jaguars off Cleveland’s practice squad on Dec. 17, 2013 ... Was originally signed as a rookie free agent by Green Bay in 2013 ... Four-year letterman at Texas A&M where he played alongside Jaguars OT Luke Joeckel ...

2013: Spent first 12 weeks on Cleveland’s active roster but was inactive for every game ... Signed by Browns to practice squad on Nov. 29 and was signed to Jacksonville’s active roster on Dec. 17 ... Was inactive on 12/22 vs. TEN and 12/29 at IND ...

COLLEGE: Four-year letterman ... Appeared in 51 games and finished his career with 48 consecutive starts ... Was a teammate of Jaguars’ 2013 first-round selection Luke Joeckel ... Moved from guard to center following his sophomore season ... Earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors in his first season at center.

Lewis is likely an early tryout for the PS.

The flow of players have been going the other way actually. Jacksonville is more like the retirement home for the Seahawks.

This guy was with Green Bay at one time and they just lost their center... A little gamesmanship perhaps?
