The terms weren't listed, but he was probably out of the Pats' range anyways. Still, I wouldn't have minded seeing him replacing Neal.

Replace Neal?! Neal is great, why do you want to replace him?

That was fast.

Neal's replacement may already be on the roster: Nick Kaczur. O'C or Britt could then take over RT.

There are other possibilities, of course; I just don't think that the FO is contemplating more expensive FAs like Alan Faneca or Larry Allen, though injury-prone Justin Smiley is an interesting name on the FA list.

Since he got cut from a non-expiring contract, he can sign. Also, I don't mind Neal when he plays- I think he's a great run-blocker. He's also hurt for about 30-50% of every season, though.
