Watching Cleveland...
 
Does anyone else think that Romeo will make a huge pitch for Assante to be the cornerstone of his porous secondary?

Will Romeo even be around long enough to?

As we should have about $30M in cap space, I am confident we'll Franchise him. And either keep him for a year or trade him under the tag. Or, of course, sign him long term if he's willing to play. I don't see us letting him get to UFA unfettered, though.

It seems like the Browns have a pretty porous run defense as well.

I isolated on Willie McG. Before he left I was emotionally down about his leaving. Watching his very lackluster play tonight, I can't say he's missed on the Pats D. No pursuit. Listless attempts to rush the passer.

It's most probable that Romeo won't be coach there next year after these multiple humiliations. Too bad, as he's a nice guy. Not hurting for bucks though.

The only time I saw Willie in on anything was when he got a 15 yd. face mask penalty.

Would Asante hold out if the Pats franchised him? Not sure it would make sense for him to, so that scenario may not make a lot of sense. What happens if a player refuses the franchise tag?

I'm guess I'm just pessimistic about Asante staying here. It'd be great, but I'm seriously hoping we land a starting corner in an early round of the draft.

How much is the franchise tag BFan?

If he's worth that much, why not sign him long term?
