The old man is on eei, says there was NO DEAL with mankins, that says that A Shefter is/was wrong. He said that Mankins was offered Mangold money, and was turned down. Says hes glad to have moss but little else as far as that goes.

After thinking about it for a while yesterday i came to the conclusion that it was just to absurd to be true, on both sides.

For him to be on eei addressing this personally he must feel its a big deal. Maybe Shefter will have to apologize to Kraft now.

Also said Mankins apologized to him privately during the process of negotiations since the comments were made. But no deal was ever in place.

and he would apologize publicly if he signs contract with Pats or other team.

why wait? if you are such a "man" make public apology now.

Kraft says he never had a deal in place Mankins....says Mankins did apologize to him and Mankins stated to Kraft that he would make it clear that his prior comments about the Patriots were uncalled for and untrue and he would publicly clear the air when he (Mankins) either signed with the Patriots OR with another team. Kraft says Shefter's story is a boldface fib.
It's clear that Mankins camp is who leaked this
Logan may be a man of principle (??) but I'm not so sure his agent is.

Time for Mankins to fire his agent if this is true.

Schefter's report is just too bizarre to be true.

First of all, the idea the Pats are going to let an agreement with one of their best players fall through because they want him to perform public fellatio is silly.

Secondly, I don't care how principled someone is, the idea they will turn down $57M because they have to make a public "my bad" statement is beyond believable. If Bob Kraft were willing to give me $57M, I would go on TV and tell everyone he was the Messiah.

Oh, the drama!

The plot thickens. This should get interesting.

Shefter use to be a reliable, stand up guy with lots of resources. Now that he works for ESPN his reputation is taking many hits, one after another. I don't think it's a coincindence! Reiss's work leaves a little to be desired also, since he started with ESPN. I get much more information from this site than I get from Reiss,but that's for a different thread.
