I think most of us already knew this...

Sounded to those who listened in like he might be wavering on his reluctance to sign the tag in time for the June mini camp. He's really never had any leverage. Might as well do what he loves to do and let the rest of the chips fall where they may. He also acknowledged they have a way of doing things and it's worked out for them for a long time now so trying to rattle them will never work to your advantage. Probably the only guy who could rattle them isn't inclined to, either. I really hope they can find a way to work out a reasonable deal, though. I think it would pay dividends down the road not only on the field but in the locker room. When you're drawn to high effort players who are often overachievers it's good business to fairly compensate them for their achievements.

You do know they have until July to reach a long term deal and then beyond that they have from the end of the 2012 regular season until the opening of the 2013 season and into FA to reach some common ground...

The Gr8est

Yes, but Wes needs to lower his demands if he wants to get a longer term deal.

Wes is on the wrong side of 30, and his style of play causes his body to absorb a lot of wear and tear. While we all love him, BB isn't sentimental enough to overpay based on past performance; it will be based on what he can give the Pats going forward, and he's reaching his shelf life.

While the Pats can absorb the franchise tag for him this year, next year I don't think they will.

theonly thing he said with any certainty was:
“There’s nine and a half million reasons why I wouldn’t miss any regular season games, so you don’t have to worry about that.”


sound like he selected those words carefully enough to take a good chunk of the sumer off.

as for signing the tender before minicamp....maybe he will, maybe he won't

One of the best players the Patriots have ever had, no wonder some want to get rid of him.

Yeah that makes sense.
