Tank Williams?

Is Tank still on the roster after being ir'ed last year? If so, maybe he could fill Rodney's shoes as the thumper in the middle.

Re: Tank Williams?

Does anyone know the nature of his injury? Did he blow out the same knee that was reconstructed before he came here?

I was pretty sure at the time that he was signed to a 2 year deal, and I don't recall him being released.

He is a free agent.

From Miguel's page:

Quote:

Tank Williams- On 3/8 Mike Reiss blogged that "S Tank Williams signed a one-year contract with a base salary of $605,000. He did not receive a signing bonus. There is a $40,000 workout bonus as part of the deal. The contract qualifies for the veteran minimum benefit, meaning his salary cap charge is $491,000."
August 10, 2008 update Tank's contract included a $230,000 split salary which I presume kicked in once Tank was placed on IR.

Re: Tank Williams?

This is the one guy I had hoped we would resign above all others even including Rodney.

I agree that he looked very good in camp last year and I'd love to see him with the team. But I wouldn't worry about the Pats signing him. Here's why:

Last year, he signed for the vet min. That's all he could get a year younger and not coming off a knee injury. Having done so well in the Pats system last year, if he comes back at all healthy, his value will have increased for the Pats (now that he knows the system) and decreased for everyone else (now that he's been injured), compared to the same time last year.

So he'll be back with the Pats if he's healthy.
