The Panthers tried to stash Gaffney on IR after his knee injury but the Patriots claimed him as they did with Jake Ballard a couple of years ago. Hopefully it works out better for them this time. Link - ( New Window )
You have 90 players. Is it really that bad to have to go with 89 for a few weeks? Just IR Gaffney if you like him, rather than try to sneak him on waivers. Of course, maybe they don't think he's that good. But if you have any faith in a player, don't risk him for one measly roster spot.
Gaffney is a talented and I thought underrated versatile back.
does he have enough speed and burst to succeed in the NFL.
Testing suggests he's in the average range, but seeing a lot of him in the college game he often looked slow and plodding. Good between the tackles but struggled to hit the edges.

Because of the threat of the Panthers?
