My question to anyone is can we possibly let Samuel just leave as a UFA . . . if not re-signed, we HAVE TO Franchise him, right ? I will forever lose confidence in our front office if he just walks.

We can just let him walk but that doesnt make any sense.
If we franchise him we at least obtain his rights and can choose where he goes and choose and agree upon a compensatory pick.
If he just walks then we seriously dropped the ball.
Basically my point - if we Franchise him then he's either stuck with us or we can control where he goes via trade.Lots of talk on the Jets boards about the Jet making a run at him.

Yes, did you have a nice week end.

I'm scared we'll screw this up because, at a lower level, I felt this way about Givens. I still think we could have Franchised him and gotten more in a trade than the comp pick we're getting.
Right, if we tag Samuel then he's stuck either sitting out, playing the year for the money, doing a long term deal with us or doing a long term deal with some other team with whom we can work out a deal. If we don't tag him, like Givens, then the Jets certainly could get involved.So you are saying there is nothing the Jets or any other team can do to influence the Samuels situation, becuase thats the way I see it, I think the franchise tag this year and maybe the following also, becuase I do not think that the Patsa show a good histry of retaining players who want big money or make statements like "get paid".
Even though the Pats lost, it was a great weekend.
I got my nephew on TV and I got to see a great game in person.
Got to get real close to some Patriots and Colts players.
2006 for both.Is Earl Charles signed through 2007 or 2006? NFLPA.org says 2006.
Ditto for Ventrone.
A few additions to the FA spreadsheet:
Patriots - ERFA - Spann
Patriots - ERFA - Wright
Jets - ERFA - Michael King
Jets - ERFA - Jamie Thompson
Jets - ERFA - Wallace Wright
Jets - ERFA - Ed Blanton
*LB Ryan Riddle was released*
Colts - UFA - Ricky Proehl
Colts - ERFA - Matt Ulrich
Chargers - UFA - Az-Zahir Hakim
*LB Phil Archer was apparently released*
Steelers - RFA - Andre Lott
Steelers - UFA - Chidi Iwuoma
Do you think Dillon will be cut?
Back from Tedy??Only if they ask for the money back. What are the chances of that?? I say none. Will the Patriots gain cap space if he retires even without asking Tedy to return some of his signing bonus money?? Yes.If Brushi retires do the Pats get money back since I think he is still under contract one more year?
