Not good.

They just broke into the Brees signing news conference to give the news.

I thought he would retire a Patriot. It's going to be weird seeing him in another uniform.

meanwhile the crickets chirp in foxboro

well 4 mil a year, that why he's gone. We can't pay that for him. Thanks Willie we loved you while you were here.

That sucks bad. Is that a lot of $? It does'nt seem exorbanent.
You would think we would have offered him that? No?
I guess not. The suckiness of this is beyond description.

I'm not saying we should worry, but there should be some concern. This is not good!

That's too bad - I'm not sure how much of that is bonus money but $4 mil a season for Willie seems like a fair price - I was thinking $3 mil a season but that's not that far off

Still, if the Pats expected him only to serve in spot roles I guess that's a lot to pay a part time player.

MrTibbs · 03-15-2006, 03:07 PM

Offer from the Patriots? The Patriots NEVER even called him.

Can we please keep the sky is falling crap to a minimum?
