Seriously, at this point we need need to batten down the hatches on what we got. Securing our O-Line would go a long way to proving that our offense could be better without Moss, even if I don't believe that yet.

If we sign Mankins we might as well add another running back and transition to a more balanced passing-rushing offense. BJGE + Taylor + 1 more solid RB + Woodhead and Morris as the FB could get it done if the line blocks 90% as well as it did against Miami.

Mankins turned down a big time Patriot offer.......




to hell with him. Connolly is filling in quite nicely.

Maybe you havn't noticed but this team is in the buisness of collecting draft picks. why sign him, you can get a decent draft pick for him, which can in turn be traded down for ***2*** draft picks. you can then trade those into the next year at a higher round which could then be traded for ***4*** lower round draft picks..

They are in this for april, not this or any other season.

From the reports per Schefter Mankins will return in week 11, to play the final 6 weeks of the season. Does anyone think that BB would play him though?, especially with Connolly doing a nice job so far this season

Yeah, let's ***^ing thrown 8M a year into the toilet for the next umpteen years.

Seriously dude, do you even watch the games? THE ONLY VALUE Mancow holds at this point is to package him with a 2nd or a 3rd to bring in an impact player.

Other then that, Mancow is a distraction at this point. Connelly is fine.

Why waste the money ? Dan Connelly is having a great, great year, at 1/20 th the cost. We don't need Mankins.

Hey Rex have you met our new Tightends? Say Hi to Aaron and Gronk !

The team just dumped one malcontent player, so I doubt we're about to throw a ton more money at another malcontent player.

You have to remember that both sides have to agree. It isn't like the FO didn't bother trying to sign Mankins. There's a big discrepancy in what both sides think the deal should be.

The only way we could sign Mankins now is if he came down on his asking price or we raised our offer to him, and both are very unlikely. Mankins will most likely be back after week 10 so he gets credit for this season.

What compensation would we get for mankins at the end of the season? Comp picks in the 2012 draft?
