Having it kick in after the franchise would mean his signing bonus would move out to year two. I'm sure the Patriots would love that.

I doubt it, given that there would still be guaranteed money to be paid, and the $10 million cap hit would still be there in 2011.

It obviously would depend on the other parameters of the deal but I'm sure that would be something they could definitely work around if it is what he really wants. The year they sign him to a long term deal, they are going to pay him a lot more than $10m. In any event, why would Mankins want to push out his signing bonus to next year?

the idea would be to make the deal now to reduce the cap number, giving the team more flexibility.

I could see 2 scenarios happening:

1. Mankins signs the tender and gets a long term deal. (what I want to happen)

2. Mankins signs the tender so he could be traded. This scenario i could see happening and if this is the scenario that happens then where would we trade him to and what would we get for him? If this does happen, I am hoping for Mankins to Dallas for Ware.

This. I would love to see this done now so we could talk about a possible veteran RG replacement for neal and/or a Todd Light extension. Pay this man.

BTW. Glad to be back on patsfans was pretting depressing only coming on to read/discuss the lockout; hope everybody's well.

Since you're most likely wrong on what the Patriots would be looking for, and seem to have missed the point I was making about an extension as opposed to a new deal, let's just end this line of talk right here.
