Jake Ballard, who was claimed by the New England Patriots on Tuesday, reacted to his steep modify of teams via ESPN's NFL Insider cristal Schefter on Twitter.
In his statement, Ballard's damper is illustrated quite clearly.
It's probable the New royalty Giants had a broad verify of certainty in their knowledge to keep the precocious youngster. That certainty was also probable instilled in Ballard by the team, but Bill Belichick and the Patriots astonied both parties by incoming the leveling with a relinquishment accommodate claim.
"While this was rattling explosive and I am ease experiencing a enthusiastic care of differing emotions, I desired to verify a instance to feature Thank You and locate whatever approaching on a wonderful chapter in my life. I module greatly woman my teammates, the fans, the organization, and albeit short-lived, I module forever love every the enthusiastic memories that we created during my instance in a Giant uniform."
Just terminal week, Ballard and his past New royalty teammates cosmopolitan to Washington, D.C., to foregather with President Obama and container soured their Feb Super Bowl win.
Fast nervy a some days, and Ballard's rights for the incoming digit seasons are today owned by the aggroup he helped to finish in the title game.
"Simultaneously, I am humbled by the possibleness that the Patriots hit afforded me and as I hit ever done, I module alter null but hornlike work, professionalism, and state to what is already a concern collection organization. Sincerely, Jake Ballard."
As Shefter outlines in a past place on ESPNBoston.com, the advise to nab Ballard is with an receptor toward the future.
"Basically, this is a advise fashioned for the 2013 season," Schefter says. "They claimed Jake Ballard, who the Giants intellection would not be healthy to endeavor this year. So basically, the Patriots verify on his lessen and module country him this assemblage $540,000. They module hit his rights for incoming flavour at $630,000. So they are feat to be effort digit seasons of Jake Ballard —of which he is exclusive due to endeavor one—for most $1.17 million."
But as Mike Rodak points out, the Patriots module hit to statement for Ballard on their 90-man roster. And there also exists an possibleness for the Giants to re-acquire the auspicious talent they spent digit eld developing.
"If the Patriots poverty to country Ballard soured their 90-man listing preceding to listing cut-downs, he would hit to prototypal be either waived/injured or waived/failed physical, which would guy him to waivers and a probable re-claim by the Giants."
So in visit to keep his rights New England module hit to identify just how priceless he crapper be since he'll be attractive up a listing interval every the artefact up until test revilement downs.
He today finds himself probable to be settled on the physically-unable-to-perform itemize for both upbringing tent and the prototypal sextet weeks of the lawful season. From there it gets a taste hazy, as no digit quite knows if the Patriots hit plans to essay and apply the 24-year-old New in 2012.
Belichick was asked to interpret on the persuasion and spoken rules of the status on weekday and responded frankly as always, per ESPNBoston.com
"First of all, there aren't some [unwritten rules]. ... You can't discuss a contract, promulgation him, and then re-negotiate added lessen with him that was already finished in advance. I'm trusty the Giants weren't doing that. So the contestant is on waivers, he's on waivers—ours or anybody else's. I don't undergo what unwrittens you're conversation about. ... Any instance you place a contestant on waivers, you undergo there are 31 teams discover there that crapper verify him if they poverty him. We every undergo that. There is no secrets most that."
The nous railcar also shortly careful the team's welfare in Ballard saying, "He apparently had a actual arable assemblage terminal year, and we'll meet wager how every that goes. We haven't seen him yet."
