Daniels: Patriots Have Interest in Bringing Back Uche, But No Offer Made

[Ian]

Interesting:


Wonder if they're going to just let him test the market and let the market set his value.

As absurd as it would have sounded at midseason, I wonder if the correct move here is to bring back Mack Wilson for ⅓ or ½ the price to see if there’s more potential to unlock there with a full offseason working as an edge rusher. He had some really good plays on the edge later in the season, including sacks against $20M and $18.5M per year right tackles.

Definitely new management in charge. Lots and lots of rumors these days.

I guess this is what they meant by media friendly.

According to the post on projected AAV salaries, Uche could be resigned to a reasonable contract.

Wilson was one of the players who stood out to me following Judon’s injury. He was active, affecting the play… If affordable (which should be the case) I second this thought : bring him back.

I liked hearing that Uche wanted to play for Mayo.

I assume this is because they’re not sure what his market is, so they want him to test it and then talk money. Don’t want to just bid against themselves.

One dimensional pass rushers like Uche in Todays game are a dime a dozen we can find a replacement.

 

[PatsFan2]

Surprised we didn't tag Onwenu him and Dugger might be gone though I prefer Onwenu.

And I’m fine with that. While I understood Belichick’s desire to play everything close to the best, he was too tight assed about it, and it became a caricature of itself. I also think it’s one of the reasons some owners don’t want to bring him in, because they don’t want that to be the forward face of their franchise.

"We like you and want to bring you back but we aren't sure what we should pay you. After all, you've been here 4 years and have only one disruptive year and that does not warrant a big payday".

If he's cheap then great but he had a chance to emerge without Judon and he was MIA. I think he is what he is. A third option, situational pass rusher.
