Would like to a see consensus on the most discussed Patriot of the week, what would you do if you were in charge?

I'd send him home for the year and deal with him in the offseason.

Bench him for the rest of the season. Cut him once 2009 is over. I'd cut him sooner, except for the prohibitive cost.

He is untradable with that contract. If the pats cuts him it is still like 9 million against the cap.

Even if he made vet minimum he, like every other NFL player, is untradable until the 2010 league year begins around March 1.

Some fresh, new, high motor, special teams mentality on the defensive side might help everyone out. The replacement may not be as skilled, but a guy like Ninkovich would come in and play hard. Imagine all the starters being out-hustled by a guy who isn't nearly as skilled.

If I remember correctly, Ninkovich has done just as good or better than most of our LB's in rushing the QB.

We need him for depth purposes. Our LB corps is thin as it is. On top of that, why would we cut him with the cap hit the team would have to absorb? It sucks that he's a malcontent, but we have to keep him in there.

Good point. BB should at least start someone ahead of him.

Financially, I don't think it matters if we cut him now or in the offseason, especially with the likelihood that there is no cap next season. I could be wrong there.

I'd cut him right now and get him out of the locker room. Or bench him and tell him not to show up. His effort has been poor in the games and he's not performing as well as he should be. He has the potential to be one of the best defenders on this team, and he refuses to live up to that - or maybe he's just too old. Right now, I can't see how Woods or Ninkovich couldn't perform better than he could given their high level of effort.
