I admit I haven't read any of this thread, mostly because it was never a secret that the Pats weren't EVER going to pick up that $20MM option. I find it almost incomprehensible that the "official" notification could generate a 9 page thread with over 170 posts.
WTF guys. There are several threads on this site right now with thoughtful topics to post on. Patchick's thread on why the same teams suffer for so long is a good example of where you should spend your time, while we wait for some resolution with Revis and Browner.
I have no idea what you could have talked about for over 170 posts on this topic, and quite frankly....I'm afraid to find out.
