So we're in FA with money and Housh's price is headed for the basement - New England Patriots Forums

I don't think he's a real good possibility, but he sure is getting cheaper by the minute.

Would you guys pull the trigger for an an incentives deal, maybe $3 mill guaranteed plus maybe $4M/year for two years?

Receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh thought that money was going to be flowing into his bank account once free agency began. He likely viewed himself as one of those Friday press conference guys, smiling and laughing and holding up his jersey and talking about how he just wants to make a difference.

But it’s Sunday, and T.J. hasn’t signed. Presumably, because he can’t get anyone to offer him the kind of cash he thought he’d be getting.

I definitely would do it. I know we need other positions resigned and upgraded, but an 3 WR set with Moss, Welker, Housh, Watson at TE and Faulk in the backfield would be impossible to stop. I don't think he's too expensive to at least try it.

Never a big fan of Padma. I'd rather get a mid-round rookie with speed who also returns kicks.

He's a dummy, I think that's the problem. Seriously, very talented and should be sought after. He could be his own worst spokesman, though.

I'd say skip it. We should be able to draft a decent 3rd receiver or pick one up for less $$ than this guy is looking for. We need lots of help on defense, which is where I think BB is concentrating all his efforts.

Absolutely not. This guy's ego can't fit inside the stadium. And the article basically confirms that. I'd rather take Ronald Curry, who has more potential, in my honest opinion.

I would rather get Bodden and Springs and then pick up a Mike clayton type player. Gaffney wont be hard to replace.

PaulNEPats · 03-01-2009, 11:30 AM

I hate that guy, screw him.

Double G · 03-01-2009, 11:30 AM

I agree; a guy who drops wide open TD's vs the Colts that end up costing the Patriots a playoff spot shoud not be hard to replace.

This guy got cut by the Texans lest we forget.........
