Does this sound like a goodbye tweet from Shane Vereen to you?

Brunitus · Mar 4, 2015

He was never going to resign here, he would fit the Eagles,Colts or Giants perfectly.

Gronkowski123 · Mar 4, 2015

bye bye shane.

shmessy · Mar 4, 2015

Not too sure about that.

This might put it in context, given it took place this afternoon - - he might just be saying thanks for it:

Ian yesterday:

"We did a promotion on Twitter with Verizon during the playoffs and as a result tomorrow afternoon we're going to be doing a Q&A on the social network with Shane Vereen and I'm fielding questions from people for us to ask him tomorrow. I have to get these into his camp by 3:00pm today so that they can prep and be ready, primarily so that he can answer them in a reasonable fashion since the limit is 140 characters.

But if you have a question you'd like to ask (obviously we have to avoid questions about his contract, where he'd prefer to play, etc.) feel free to add yours and I'll try and get in as many as I can

I'll also post the full interview on here tomorrow night for those of you who aren't on Twitter. But it should be fun so make sure to pass along anything you'd like us to ask."

Bye Shane I'd rather have Spiller or Bush nothing personal.
You had a heck of a season but you are not a three down back and don't deserve more than 2 million a season. Run between the tackles and then maybe you would be worth three.
Nothing personal unless you sign with the Colts or Broncos.
If you do watch out for number 91.

I'd be fine with Vereen leaving only if the Pats retained 1) Revis, 2) McCourty.

And as long as he doesn't go to the Broncos or Colts. Or just about any decent team in the AFC.

Although, you look at what Sproles and Woodhead got for their contracts. And it's really not that bad to consider giving Vereen a similar deal. He can be a game changer minus the $10-12 million WR type of price.

Absolutely ... he has great value to a weak WR team.

Yea that's right, but man it has a vibe that he is gone

I'm laughing at this thread now!

Look at Question #8.

Yeah - with that context you're right, nothing to be read into.

I forgot all about the interview and only saw one of the Pats people I follow rt that comment.

JMC00 · Mar 4, 2015

Based on what @shmessy has brought to light,

Schmo said:
Not the answer itself. It's the second part of the question that he didn't answer.

"...and do you hope to stay?"

Jk, the man's showing some love and ignoring the only business question (technically out of 11) that was asked. Let him field offers. He deserves it.

Edit: BTW, those were some fun, interesting questions. Kudos, Ian.

Yeah, thought it was interesting he ignored that part. These were pre-screened by his people anyway before I did it but I told them it had to be asked.

He was great overall, gave some pretty good answers to a few of them.

That being said, watch him sign with the Chargers tonight.

Are you not following @PatsFans? You would have seen that. That hurts fnordcircle

No. Stop overreacting.

Asking questions is overreacting.

I don't see him leaving until someone demonstrates who else can fill the 3rd down, Kevin Faulk type role.

Vereen has great hands and speed, and is exactly who the Pats need out in the flat on 3rd down. I don't see anyone else in the RB stable who has that skill sets just now. Maybe in another year or two, but right now I see him sticking around.

patsfan13 · Mar 4, 2015

Hope he can stay, if he goes for more $$$ I am fine with that, this will be the biggest payday of his career. Players need to maximize their income, careers are short.

If he leaves, I'll thank him for the contributions he made to this team.

Yes. I might be over reacting, but take into account that New England dosnt value the running back position like other NFL teams, they have a potential replacement on the roster, and to top it off, he had a hell of a super bowl. It makes for a perfect storm signaling to me that he won't be returning.

They value the position more so than the player, unfortunately for Vereen (and his classy farewell tweet)

Belichick effectively utilizes multiple lower priced specialist RBs rather than one highly paid one. That also appears to be a growing trend with other teams, deflating the price of RBs in general

Brady_to_Moss · Mar 4, 2015

What 11 catches in the SB? Again HUGE part of that win..if he leaves...thanks Vereen!

Vereen was pretty unproven when Woodhead left. I expect Vereen will be gone, especially given his asking price.

Ochmed Jones · Mar 4, 2015

Vereen may be headed to Oakland, I doubt bb will pony up when we havevthe revis cleaver hanging over our heads.

Does this sound like a goodbye tweet from Shane Vereen to you?
