West Philly Patriot

Came across my Team Stream app and the Herald has this being true. Kyle Love signs a 3M 1 year extension. Good for him glad to see a hard working UDFA get rewarded. This seems there is some correlation with the fanene situation and Love getting the extension right after.

Well deserved. Love is becoming a force on the DL.

If he keeps playing the way he has there will be more coin to be had.

He's a UDFA who's on his 3rd year. The extension will get him through year 4 and into his UFA season. It's essentially a nice little bit of extra money beyond an RFA tender (it was 2.74 million for the top tender this year and, as a UDFA, the Patriots would have had to offer that in order to keep Love next season, because the UDFA number wouldn't have dissuaded anyone).

He deserves it.

Love's agent sums it up nicely:

[quote]“Very deserving client who has worked very hard,” Stellato said. “Our company, KLASS Sports, is very happy we were able to do this for the third time. We appreciate the Patriots stepping up and making a commitment to Love at a time when they did not have to do so. Kyle Love has the New England Patriots in his blood.”

Love gets some "love" from the team and a little security. The team gets Love for 2013 at just marginally over what they minimally would have had to tender him at to keep him, and possibly much less than it would have cost if Love played well this year and attracted RFA offers from other teams (not particularly likely in the current RFA climate, but not out of the question). And it builds goodwill between the team and Love, which won't hurt when he goes into his contract year next year, or becomes a UDFA after 2013.

I love Kyle Love.

I've posted this before, so excuse me.

Love Kyle Love. His game keeps progressing and is now at the point of being a solid starter with more consistency and disruption. Who knows, he may be considered a premier DT by the end of that extension.
