I don't love Mankins' reply.

"Nice talk. We have a lot of nice talks."

Sounds a little like "same old stuff, different day."

Perhaps that's too negative. But my take is that Mankins is saying that the problem isn't talking to Bill and it runs deeper than that.

Hopefully that at least calmed the waters.

A "nice talk". Wow that tells us nothing.
Hopefully it was nice enough for him to consider taking a sane contract offer.
I think his agent has gotten into his head and Mankins won't sign for less than what he believes he's worth, which is a LOT of money.
We're not going to give Mankins, Wilfork money if that's what he's looking for.

He probably just said "Tag. You're It".

All this Mankins talk is kind of moot right now, he will get tagged then we'll wait for the new CBA and go from there.

How do you know it tells us nothing, were you there in the huddle with them during the conversation? Maybe BB was telling Mankins the team wants to keep him and sign him long term but they need to wait for the CBA to get resolved before they can make a big move like that.

I think he just meant more details, as in Mankins telling the media and not so much what went on in the actual talk itself.

Belichick: "Logan we won't pay you the money you want and we won't franchise you as long as you promise not to sign with an AFC team,namely the Jets,Pittsburgh,Indy and San Diego.

Mankins: "O.K. Boss,but if those teams offer me substantially more than the rest of the NFC teams offer then its going to be hell to try and keep me from going to one of those teams,I am the best guard in the NFL and nothing personal but its a business.

Thats my version of a 'nice talk' between those two

Default Franchise Tag Mankins - which type?

If I am not mistaken, aren't there two different types: Exclusive and Non-Exclusive. Which one suits us best...? Exclusive might piss LM off, but it would reduce the liklihood of some unexpected offer coming in. This all assumes the CBA is signed, of course.
