dont count the chickens before they are hatched
 
Adam Shefter is not b.b. and pioli, the pats may have interest but a deal is probably no where near done, things can change quickly with the amount of dough out there, im just not taking what shefter said that a deal is imminent, i heard him and what i heard was interest, and could sign, there is a long way to go

I don't blame you. Last offseason, Shefter was wrong on a lot of free agents. He prematurely reported that Lavar Arrington was going to Jacksonsville--didn't happen. Then he reported he would sign with some other team and that didn't happen. There were other players he was wrong with too so I stopped trusting the guy a long time ago.

i think Shefter's point was more to the fact that most people ruled out the Patriots because they are not known to spend big money in the FA market and that he's heard something to the contrary relative to the amount NE would be willing to spend to get Thomas.

I don't believe that there is any kind of deal or anything in place or even discussed.

He hasn't even visited the team yet.

I think Shefter just thinks that NE will be bigger players than anyone anticipated.

But yes, we shouldn't be counting any chickens.

So effing what? We can't talk about what is going on and who might go where until next September?

This is no different than draft talk on the Patsfans draft board. No one knows who will be drafted by whom, but we all are having fun with "what if..."

If you don't like to hear about the latest news and rumors, why log in on the day free agency starts?

damn i thought schefter was good didnt realize he has a track record of being wrong. way to burst a bubble. I was cautiously optimistic anyhow.

Enough people have said the Pats are going to be agressive to think the Pats have a legitimate shot at landing Thomas, but if San Fran offers a stupid contract the Pats probably won't match or beat it just to get him. I think they will pay to get him though.

there has been a ton of misinformation out there, just because reporters are rushing to beat everyone

no one wants it more than me but that is reality, if that bothers you its not my problem, you can log on to a fantasy league , maybe thats what your looking for

I agree with you Pats go. It's one thing to invite some high profile

players in for a visit and another to come up with the money to sign

them. Every year the Pats talk to a few such players.
