Re: Broncos agree to contract with Saurbrun; Pats have 7 days to match
Per John Clayton:
Sauerbrun's deal is reportedly 1 Yr/$820K (Vet Minimum). There are $600K in incentives, a no trade clause and clauses that prohibit the franchise or transition designation being used on him after this season.
His agent, David Canter, has said he prefers Denver because Josh Miller is already in NE, but he will be happy no matter if the Pats match or not.
I imagine the Pats will let him go and keep Miller, a good guy who has done a good job with them.
Perhaps they will match just to have them battle it out and keep the best guy in camp. Or, less likely, maybe we can trade Denver Miller for a late round, conditional draft pick in 2008. I doubt Denver would go for that but you never know.
