Maroney Traded - No Mankins deal - what does it mean? - New England Patriots Forums

Holy Diver · 09-14-2010, 06:24 PM

so...we have an open roster spot...(or two) with Murrel being released. We have Mankins unsigned and Maroney traded. This frees up some $$ and a roster spot?

My wishes.....

sign Jarvis Green

&

Extend Randy Moss

It means that Maroney has been traded and Mankins has not.

I wasnt asking "what would Belichick say"....

Jarvis Greene? Isn't he done?

Reiss said Green was visiting Cleveland this week. I suspect if BB wanted him back he'd be back by now. Others have speculated Murrell might be back and one of the Herald's people reported his stuff was still in the locker room so who knows.

Mankins might be traded but I suspect BB might wait until Oct. to get the most out of him from some desperate teams up against the trade deadline.

That sucks. I never stopped believing Maroney was about to turn it around.

Maybe Crable is getting promoted from the practice squad????

I couldn't believe they released Murrell the week before we play his former team. Players always step up against former teammates. I wouldn't mind bringing him back this week.

WE can't trade Mankins because he's not under contract. We'd have to sign him first, and the team being traded with would have to accept that new deal. I don't see that happening.

What I see is Mankins being signed and back on the field with New England either just before or just after the bye week.
