So why all the one year deals? - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

Stallworth wont be a one yr deal

Washington has to make the team first, which I think he will

Moss is on a 1 yr tryout, and it works out great , if not well we should still be fine..

not only are they all playing for future contracts but in the patriots system no one player ever stand out unlike the extremes in other systems (Steve Smith) so when it comes to trying to resign some of these players the patriots have a bit of leverage when the quality of play may have been there but not the big time numbers that demand big time dollars

I really wish we could have a system like in Baseball where all contracts are fully guaranteed for multiple years at tens of millions of dollars wheter they guy is good or sucks....

I know. Also, what does Moss or Stallworth having a one year deal have to do with BB's contract status? If he isn't going to be here, what does BB care if the Pats end up in cap hell?

How about Stallworth and Moss have some question marks and it's smart to do a one year deal thing to ensure you are not stuck with a disaster on your hands?

Thoughts?

Well, first off, Stallworth's and Washington's deals are 1 year +option years. Also, no one is sure that Moss' contract is ONLY 1 year. Until Reiss reports that its only one year or until Miguel has it on his site that its only one year, its pretty silly to make that assumption.

Also, there are no rumblings. The only "rumblings" are from nimrods who don't know a damn thing about Belichick. And that includes resident know-nothing Danny Boy.

The "rumors" only have substance if you chose to give them substance and you ignore things like the fact that the Patriots now have 2 1st round picks and 2 3rd round picks for 2008. A draft that is supposedly going to be very deep.
