Interesting: warfield, hawkins, caldwell all signed for 2 yrs
this is kinda interesting
why not more?
obviously its a lot less of a risk when you sign a guy for less, cuz it will involve a smaller bonus, which would induce a smaller cap hit if you cut him, but its kinda interesting that all these guys were signed to 2 yrs
is there another underlying reason?

Not sure..someone more familiar with cap numbers might speculate...
I tend to think that the default case on reclamation players is one year.
Therefore, TWO years is something of a vote of confidence.
"We think you've got something. Show it to us ... and we'll be glad
to hold an option on you for another year, cheap."

But also, that we don't have THAT much confidence for a 3rd year. It makes sense...not bad at all.

right
i guess im a lil surprised they didnt give a third yr to caldwell
the thing is if one (or two or three) of them do really well during that contract, then you're left with a decision whether or not to give him big money now
its almost like no matter what all these guys will be here for the max of two yrs
cuz if they outperform that contract, they'll prob look for bigger money elsewhere
if they dont do well, theyre gone
if they do so-so, then maybe they stay, but prob not, cuz you'll just bring in some rooks, or other guys like them to see if they'll outperform a small contract

in other words its like a two year lease
and you know you're prob not gonna buy out the car at the end
you'll just get another lease

I think it's just as much a player decision as it is a team decision. None of the three players signed for big money so why agree to a 4,5 or 6 year contract when it's not paying you that much? This gives the player a little security, the team a little security, and it also gives the player another shot at a good contract if he does well.

ya i know that
but if they up the ante a lil more they can get them in for three yrs, so i was just trying to figure out why they didnt do that for any of them
but i kinda answered my own question with my "lease" answer

And, for the record, while it seemed for a while that we wernt going to do anything... now we have made some very significant signings, not big names, not big marquee type names, but just what this team needed to fill in a few holes....now a couple more here and there, a good draft and Miami in February has nice ring to it.
emphasis on good draft

From the Pats angle it gives them protection incase the player bombs but the Pats also know that guys with short contracts are usually highly motivated because they need to perform well to be sure they will get another good contract. Now that's real incentive...
