I could see the NFL some day going to 2 Exhibition games and 18 regular season games. I always felt bad for the folks buying the pre-season exhibition game tickets and not getting their money's worth.
Reminds me of the McGoo deal a few years back to Cleveland. Not a popular move but one that had to be made at the time. It is a business and sooner or later, all players become overpaid and expendable. Pioli obviously was an insider and probably knew Vrable was going to be released anyway for...
Don't they still have the rule where the Pats could pay him more than the vet minimum but he would only count as the vet minimum against the cap? A win/win for both sides that way.
Good post. Some comments IMHO.
I doubt the Pats think Morris is a replacement for Dillon. I look for the Pats to draft a power RB on Day 1. Leonard could be that guy in the 2nd round. But to get a #2, they have to trade down with the #28 to pick up Leonard the Power RB. I could live with...
I think Gardner was released.
Britt, Mills, Yates, Mruckowski and Washington are not locks on O.
Smith, Hill, Mays, Woods, Mitchell, Baker and Spahn are not locks on D.
Bottom line - only room for @ 4-5 rookies and 2-3 FAs to make the 2007 53.
With the FA gains/losses, this team...
IMHO, if the Pats are smart, they will draft Tedy's and Rodney's eventual replacements on Day 1 of this year's draft. We could argue they have either one or two more years left in the tank, but that is the order of magnitude. They could both mentor young rookies this season and show them what it...
Re: Owners to Consider Two Rule Change Proposals
The NFL obviously needs to address the PI penalty. Teams are using it as a play. Go deep, throw the ball up for grabs, get position and have the back judge throw the flag for a 40 yard play as there will probably be contact. They are making a...
If Troy wants to come back and BB feels he can still play one more year, then he will be signed. He is Mr Patriot and Tom Brady also wants him back.
Jackson by all accounts will be on the PUP for the first 6 weeks, then have several more weeks to be allowed to practice and I believe it is up...
Methinks the Pats need a part time sub at NT for Wilfork. Wright is better suited for DE sub with Green. Smith so far hasn't cut it.
A rookie wide body will serve this role. The FAs that are out there are mostly starters, and the Pats don't need a starter, just a sub that can hold his won...
Every year there is a turnover rate of @ 12-14 players. So, by 2008 we are looking at 28 new players. That is mind boggling to comprehend, but what will happen.
And, the beat goes on, and on, and on...........
He is the odds on favorite to regain his starting spot. Why not? If not Wilson, then who?
The Pats will draft a SS not a FS. If anyone is in jeopardy of not starting it is Rodney.
