7M a year for 5 years....... Gee, we really low-balled him. :rolleyes: What's that about $12 a penalty? :singing: Screw his overaggressive, penalty-incurring ass. He one of the more OVER-rated Patriots there is. Our only issue is we don't have a replacement yet. That's it. |

You can call Bill's character into question and live to fight another day. The Kraft's and their organization, no so much... He's lucky they can only cut his tender to 110%...

Re: REPORT: Mankins' [Tender Offer] Reduced
I like some of the comments on PFT:
"I wish my employer would disrespect me like that" "What freaking guard turns down 7 mill a year? 7 mill for a guard! that's a $h!t ton! He can't possibly think he'll get more anywhere else." "Eesh...I am a college graduate trying to make $35,000.00 a year." "i could understand him turning it down if he was actually one of the top 5 guards in the league..." "Had your chance buddy, and now you're playing for crumbs. I wish someone would "slap me in the face" an offer me $7M." |
Re: REPORT: Mankins' Contract Reduced
Didnt take long for the crowd to turn in him huh? I agree the 7 mil/yr seems pretty damn reasonable (top 5 an insult, really?), but business is business and he's looking to max out his contract. Unfortunately he has 0 leverage aside from sitting out a season, or most of one. Hate on him for being a dumb ass with negotiations, but he was still probably the best lineman out there for us last year.
