On Rotoworld this morning it said Mankins will return after week 10. I'm not sure if the Pats can franchise next season, but the Pats need to start making some calls.

After the game I went for a jog and listened to Weei. They reported that Mankins says he will return for the last 6 games of the season to receive a credited year of service, ensuring that he can leave via free agency at years end regardless of the CBA.

Sorry, if they offered a source for their report, I didn't catch it.

Mankins is a free agent. He's unsigned. There is no trade to be made at this point.

Nonsense. Mankins is probably not worth more than a 3rd rounder on the trade market. He plays a low value position, wants crazy money and is guaranteed to leave in free agency anyway.

Mankins instantly makes the offense better and will be reaching mid-season form around the start of the playoffs. At this stage, I think Mankins value on the field has greater potential than his trade value.
