New England Patriots free-agent breakdown: Chris White

I am going to use this

http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-...5/bengals-jason-campbell-free-agent-breakdown as a template to look at the 15 free agents that the Patriots.

http://www.patsfans.com/salary-cap/?p=1087 looks at Greg Orton

Would like the best reasons
for why the Pats will re-sign Chris White
for why the Pats will not resign him

Of course, I will credit you unless you state that you wish to remain anonymous.

Please merge all of these threads

It is easier for me to have separate threads for each player. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

A description of the player's 2014 role would also be really helpful. Sorry for not mentioning that sooner.

I STRONGLY disagree. We have dozens of threads on the pressure of the football. Each of the free agents is certainly worthy of his own thread. In a week, I expect we will also have threads on the other early player decisions to be made, each with his own thread (certainly for Revis, Browner, Wilfork, and Solder). Finally, I expect that we will have threads analyzing the needs at various positions.

2014 Role
Chris White has been a top special teamer. He doesn't get reps as a linebacker.

WHY WE SHOULD RE-SIGN WHITE
If White is cost-effective, then he should be re-signed. However, guys like Fleming might be a better choice. Also, if Casillas is definitely back, then I would be less likely to re-sign White.

In the end, as long as the bonus money isn't high, we should try to re-sign White. After all, there are injuries on Special Teams, just like any other group, and the insurance is certainly worth something.

deal, if that. Extremely easily replaceable.

One item to note is Chris White's salary cap hit:

Spotrac is wrong. As Mike Reiss later reported Chris White did not get a $250,000 workout bonus.

There is a link on this page to my salary cap pages and you are linking to rotoworld.com and spotrac.com. They do not post here. I do.

So if you have questions about a player's cap number out of the 3 who is more likely to answer - me.
