New England released Gaffney on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney was let go to make room for Malik Gant on the roster. The 30-year-old running back signed with the Patriots in late May, but he never seemed like a strong candidate for the 53-man roster.

The Patriots are signing Gaffney to a contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney, who was a sixth-round pick by Carolina in 2014, spent time on the 49ers' practice squad last season, but he has yet to play a regular-season NFL down despite being a member of the Patriots organization from 2014 to 2016. Gaffney, who has also spent time in the MLB Pittsburgh's farm system, now finds himself in a crowded running back room. He'll be a longshot to make New England's regular-season roster.

Gaffen was released from the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney has not looked hopeful since the 2016 preseason, and since then, has bounced around between NFL teams. After spending a few weeks with San Francisco's practice squad, the 29-year-old has been waived.

Gaffney signed to the 49ers' practice squad Tuesday, Can Inman of The San Jose Mercury reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raheem Mostert (ankle) has already been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with the Cardinals. Jeff Wilson (ankle) is also questionable, leaving Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon as the only two healthy backs on the roster. If the 49ers are looking to add extra depth on gameday, Gaffney's number could be called.

Gaffney is expected to move on from football and pursue a career in Major League Baseball, Tim Williams of PiratesProspects.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney's career has been completely derailed due to a series of injuries, as the 2014 sixth-rounder never appeared in a game through four seasons in the NFL. Due to this wear and tear he's endured over the years, Gaffney will apparently call it quits on his football career and join the Pittsburgh Pirates for spring training. Gaffney was the Pirates' 24th-round pick in the 2012 MLB Draft.

Gaffney (undisclosed) was waived by the Jaguars on Friday, John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney will land on the team's injured reserve list if he clear waivers. The 26 year-old played in just one game for the Bills last season. His chances of making the team's final roster were slim.

Gaffney (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Patriots, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney missed out on practice time this week due to an undisclosed injury. His absence likely means added reps for reserve Tim Cook.

Gaffney signed with the Jaguars on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Jaguars were able to create room for Gaffney following the departure of offensive lineman Brandon Albert. The former Patriot and three-year veteran will bring with him two super bowl rings to Jacksonville. In all likelihood, Gaffney will serve as a special teams asset if he cracks the 53-man roster.

Gaffney was waived by the Patriots on Monday, ESPN's Field Yates reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney's rights will now be subject to waivers and if he's not claimed, he'll become an unrestricted free agent. A sixth-round pick of the Panthers in 2014, Gaffney has yet to make a regular season appearance since entering the league.

Gaffney signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots on Tuesday, NESN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaffney, who ended the 2016 season on the Patriots' practice squad, slots in as the sixth running back on the team's offseason depth chart.
