Three Pats consume 35 percent of cap | ProFootballTalk

You would almost certainly think that in order for NE to have a chance to get some veteran help that is not on the scrap heap this year and/or to keep at least 2 of Welker,Talib or Vollmer,it would make sense to try and negotiate to restructure Brady,Mankins,Wilfork's contracts........going to be a hard issue to deal with this summer as restructuring isn't so cool with some.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Mankins as a cap casualty, given his injury issues this year, if he will not restructure. That would necessitate drafting O-line.

There's a 0% chance that Mankins is cut loose as a cap casualty. If Mankins were to be cut, it would be for other reasons. His cap value is $10 million but, if he gets cut, he would count $12 million against the cap.

No problem.... it's tougher to get the real info now that Miguel's no longer doing his cap work. We have to rely on Jason (who seems to be pretty darned solid, btw). Here's his site, in case you ever want to look at cap items for any of the AFCE teams:

Cut Mankins ass. Overrated and so overpaid. Sign Donald Thomas at 1/20 the cap hit. Ultimatum to Logan, you either restructure or take a hike, you are not worth this kind of money, we can use that money where it's needed.

Pro Bowl? What a joke.

Hey Rex have you met our new Tightends? Say Hi to Aaron and Gronk !

Yeah I'm not positive, but I think that the situation with Mankins improves dramatically in the Patriots favor after 2 more years, should they choose to let him go then and forego the last 2 years of his remaining 4.

In the meantime I think they are pretty much on the hook for all common sense purposes for 2013 and 2014, although I would imagine that 2014 would be much lesser of a deap cap hit but I don't know that for sure.

That Jason243 guy from the NYJ forum that Deus mentions seems to really know his stuff inside and out, so I'm glad that we have a permanent link for reference.

Todd McShay has the Patriots taking Jonathan Cooper as a value pick in the first round. If that eventuates, I wonder if the Patriots would attempt to trade Mankins?

We're into that interesting time of the year. I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for Free Agency and the Draft.
