Re: Reiss: Mankins demands trade, will not sign RFA tender
$7M is a fair offer, IMO. However, the Pats should have offered it before the Evans deal, at or around the beginning of the offseason. Chances that he would have taken the offer would have probably increased (though I really can't say for sure).
God help this offense, our quarterback, and this team as a whole if either Kaczur or Neal suffers an injury long-term during the season. We'll be looking at a starting guard rotation of Connolly and Ohrnberger, the way things are looking now.

Re: Reiss: Mankins demands trade, will not sign RFA tender
I'm losing respect for Mankins now. He says he was promised that his contract would be addressed. Now top 5 guard money isn't enough? He was never promised that he would become the highest paid, but that's how he's making it sound right now.

Re: Reiss: Mankins demands trade, will not sign RFA tender
Sports is such a disgrace. Yes they made the offer of 7 M per yr. Mankins just doubled his salary from the restricted tag. I side with the organization especially with a lock out on the horizon.

I'm sure he does not care if you respect him or not. He has the right to live his life the way he sees fit.
I see this problem both ways. part of this has to be that he knows the pats are kind of screwed without him next year the same way deion branch knew it. the way the pats dealt with branch arguably cost them a trip to the superbowl in 2006.
Actually, since I noted that it was specifically in comparison to Evans' deal, your comments here are as completely irrelevant, as well as being wrong, presicely because of the specific comparison.
1.) Evans is not a "much better guard" than Mankins. Mankins has his problems, but he's still a top level guard. A 20% drop in the amount of money is a lowball offer in comparison, pretty much by definition:
2.) The viewing population isn't uninformed if they've gotten to this point in the thread. You're simply wrong.
3.) You apparently don't know the definition of propaganda any better than you understand the words "in comparison to said contract". Perhaps rather than making it personal next time, you should just consult a dictionary and an English textbook.
You're right Doos, you can define low-balling by comparing to one single contract, and say everything else is irrelevant, cuz you only happen to mention one single contract. I've learned a lot... not only does market value mean nothing when citing low-balling while citing a single contract, the fact that the contract cited is silly is irrelevant, since you said so yourself. Your logic is astounding. Truly your words have no spin and could never be perceived as propoganda.
If you keep working at it, citing definitions may work as an aid to your arguments, rather than a hindrance.
