The Pats aren't cutting Paxton.

like I said, adjustments are likely..........a WR,DB,OL is likely to go down providing the roster spot

The other safety for Clemson, FS Clemons, that is the guy who stands out when you watch Clemson play. Hamlin got chewed on quite a bit this past year, especially in coverage.
I would prefer to leave Merriweather at SS.

meriweather at SS leaves a liability in covering TE's which is what the current scheme demands

as for hamlin versus clemons, everyone's got their preferences, but clemons ain't much of a tackler

DaBruinz

You're right. They aren't. He's a free agent. And there are questions as to why he only signed a one year deal last year and not a longer term one. Was it the Pats not being happy with him? Was it him not being happy with the Pats? Who knows. But Paxton is no guarantee.

DaBruinz

Tanked- let me make sure I follow correctly:
You see the Pats re-signing the following:
Hochstein, Wright, James Sanders, Hanson

However, you see them cutting Jarvis Green, Vince Redd, Tyson DeVree, and Bo Ruud.

And you don't see them re-signing Seau, Colvin, Evans, Gaffney, Izzo, Harrison, Jordan, O'Neal, L. Sanders or Tank Williams.

Lechler from the Raiders is available. Get rid of Hanson. Sign Paxton to a two yr deal.

ctpatsfan77

No, he's not guaranteed, but he's already the highest-paid pure long-snapper in the game.

That's false. Paxton's 5 year deal made him the highest paid LS at the time. That deal ended prior to the 2008 season. Paxton re-signed to a one year deal for the vet minimum. He's a free agent again.

As I said, there are legitimate questions as to why Paxton only signed a one year deal. Did he not want a longer one? Was he out exploring other options to no avail? Did the Pats not think enough of him to offer him another good contract?
