Well said.
Faulk is the #2 all-patriot player on the team after Brown. He is Brady's protector and outlet on third down. He is one of our top receivers. He is one of the best 3rd down backs in the league (in any case, he is our best in decades). When we have a cap crunch and need 2007 cap money. I think we could re-visit this discussion (and that about the cap hists of Colvin and Dillon). We will again have trouble finding players to spend our cap money on. Faulk (Dillon and Colvin) are great places to spend cap money. We also have plenty to pay ALL our free agent, our rooks and still have enough for a couple of high profile free agents.
BOTTOM LINE
The challenge is to find valuable players on whom to spend cap money. Faulk is an easy qualifier.
Faulk has a very high cap number and i cant see him returning at that number.
If Faulk had been healthy for four quarters two Sunday's ago, I guarantee we'd be playing today. There isn't a doubt in my mind about it.
Definitely agree. He was one of many casualties in that game. Same with Dillon, he must have been injured, because clock killin was not there.
Yup. I think what hurts most about that game for me is the sense that we were about to steal a Super Bowl berth against all odds, all injuries, all sicknesses, all the media bullshyt & other adversity of the season etc., etc. It was like winning the lottery and then going to cash in only to find out you read the numbers wrong.
Faulk has a very high cap number and i cant see him returning at that number. i think if he doesnt redo his deal, the pats will have to let him go. his future might depend on what happens with corey dillon. if dillon is let go, they prob. will keep faulk but at a reduced cap hit. any thoughts?
