Another Me-First athlete, who the bank gets opened for, but it's not enough. He has an inflated opinion of himself. I hope we're not hearing Mankins stories all camp, because the Patriots have been around long before the all-important Mankins, and will be just fine without him.
But Mankins is not under contract. To the Patriots or anyone right now.

Considering he's from California and not under contract, I would think this should come as no surprise. In an uncapped year, I would think that it might make sense to pay him.
We're paying Gostkowsi for one year. We might consider the same for Mankins.

Mankins was said to have been offered very good extension. One that would have paid him extremely well. Instead, he thumbed his nose at it and made claims that the Patriots went back on their word, which they didn't.
I think Mankins is a great Left Guard. But he's not made that next step in consistency to be ELITE ala Hannah. If he had, then maybe the Pats would have given him MORE money.

It takes both parties, though.
