Not a knee jerk from last night because I think he is a very good slot CB and just had a poor matchup that nobody could see coming, but with the emergence of Butler and hoping for either Ryan to develop or Dennard to bounce back next year, if we can save a couple million by redoing or releasing Arrington's contract I would free up the space.
Operating on the outside vs tall or fast guys is just not a good place for Arrington. Bad matchups last night. I'm not down on him at all.It's totally a knee jerk from last night. Arrington is a steal at $4mm per year.
Vince looks like his old self for 2-3 snaps a games. It's beautiful when he does I've said in another thread that I can see Vince retiring. He came back from a pretty tough injury and I doubt he wants to risk potentially doing that again. Add a ring to it and why not go out on top? He seems pretty excited about coaching college also.
Regarding Mayo, he's back for sure. When you watch teams like SF lose Willis and Bowman and Seattle lose Wagner for stretches you realize you can never have enough good LBs.
Blount is under contract for next season.There has never been a year BB keeps exactly the same roster - for a variety of reasons. Usually, after the SB, some teams see great performances and become enamoured with the winner's players and they overpay for those guys. I can see Blount, Ayers in this group. Like TBC.
I don't know about Revis. (1) He loves winning (2) He loved this year (3) He loves getting paid (4) Is the SB win a "check on his to-do list" and now he continues being a mercenary ? Revis is that rare player who BOTH loves to get max money, yet has the pride to be his best at all times. Some people (Zolak and a few others) are convinced he stays. I am not as sure.
Amendola : someone will want him at his current salary. Are the Pats that team ? Again, I'm not convinced.
The guy I figure comes back : McCourty. I can also see NE paying a few bucks extra for Vereen. The others ? I dunno. I want Revis back the most. Captain Obv.
There's going to be some tough decisions to be made. For example, I'd love Brandon Browner to stay but he's due about 5.5 mil next year and can be cut before the league year at, I believe, no cost. I'm hoping he stays, but in addition to Revis and McCourty , that's a lot invested in the secondary.
