Why is it that everybody is giving Mankins grief. The Krafts have had all the power for the last couple of years. Mankins sat out most of last year rather than accept the Franchise Tag. Does anyone here really think he cares on bit about the Krafts? He has stated publicly that they reneged on some agreement.
As far what the others players think about Mankins I am betting he does not really care?
Mark Sanchez does not like him? Booo Hooo. Pats fans don't like him, so what? Seriously,
too many people fail to understand that this is a cut throat buisness.
Mankins will get what he wants. When the NFL looks at the prospect of loosing pre-season games due to this there will be an accomodation made.
If you don't know or can't understand why EVERYONE is giving him grief than you really don't understand the issue or to use an old movie quote "are you obtuse?".
Mankins should have NO beef with anyone but his own union. It might be unfortunate that he was caught up in a numbers game and had to spend an extra year as a RFA. and he might not like being franchised, but all those thing were the RULES. The owners being able to opt out were IN THE RULES. These are RULES that both parties AGREED to.
Just because its its inconvenient for Mankins and a few others, why does HE have the right to try and extort money with some threat that has NOTHING to do with anyone but him....and a few others
BTW Im still waiting for find out what he actually CAN do to try and derail this deal. As I see it all he has a right to do is to vote yea or nay when the time comes. If the vote is to accept the plan, what could he do except file as an individual, AND on what basis could he possibly win.
I don't see how this is even an issue since, again, what can he do.
Someone please help me out here
