Edelman and Long = BFFs...

???

That's the worry. His (Chris Long) injury history.

I just hope Easley can be 100% healthy and play every game in 2016.

belichick gettin' rid of all the good black players

 

[Marqui]

Not surprised, this had to happen after trading Jones.

 

[Ross12]

I'm just surprised, I really thought he would visit all his destinations like he said. He must have really liked NE.

 

[ViperGTS]

I'm stoked!

Perfect Patriot and hope his health holds up. Big if but if he can....with the group they currently have...

Doubt he takes trips to planet Zippy either. So that's a bonus.

Chris Long

114 out of 128 GP (6 out of 8 full seasons played)

Chandler Jones

64 out of 73 (1 out of 4 full seasons played)

Don't think there was any coincidence that he visited yesterday and Chandler Jones trade happened today.

I mean really Pats and Cardinals could have done this deal the day of the draft if they wanted to.

You have to assume Belichick/Patricia will get better production out of Chris Long than Jeff f'n Fisher and Greg Williams.

Chris Long

114 out of 128 GP (6 out of 8 full seasons played)

Chandler Jones

64 out of 73 (1 out of 4 full seasons played)

All 14 of those missed games were in the last two years.

In general though, your point remains, seeing a player questioned on this forum for a spotty injury history, or being injury prone, or being an unnecessary injury risk usually means he's had an about normal injury rate per his position.

Eh, all that stuff is BS. Pats probably just upped their offer to what Long wanted after trading Jones.

Hoping he'll be as good as Andre Carter back in 2011.

Certainly possible. I'm very curious as to what his contract will pay. Any guesses? I am gonna say $2.5 million with up to $5 million if he hits all incentives.

It's going to be way more than that.

 

[Ross12]

Lol it's going to be way more than that.

Wishful thinking

$2.5m base salary
$1m signing bonus
$500k roster bonus
$62k per game bonus ($1m)

Nice. Just got back from dinner and here is the news! Well that solves that

Why is Rap and other writers saying "there is the replacement for Jones"...Sheard will replace him more than Long...Long is for depth. Plus Long has had injury issues the past 2 years so you can't really count on him for 16.

But a very good depth and front 7 signing after letting Jones go today. Now get 1 more WR like Washington and a RB and we are golden

Because Sheard is criminally under appreciated...

Agreed, though. Sign Washington and maybe someone like Starks and we are good!

F.uck yes.
