Hopefully it was nice enough for him to consider taking a sane contract offer.
I think his agent has gotten into his head and Mankins won't sign for less than what he believes he's worth, which is a LOT of money.
We're not going to give Mankins, Wilfork money if that's what he's looking for.
How do you know it tells us nothing, were you there in the huddle with them during the conversation? Maybe BB was telling Mankins the team wants to keep him and sign him long term but they need to wait for the CBA to get resolved before they can make a big move like that.
If I am not mistaken, aren't there two different types: Exclusive and Non-Exclusive. Which one suits us best...? Exclusive might piss LM off, but it would reduce the liklihood of some unexpected offer coming in. This all assumes the CBA is signed, of course.
I don't love Mankins' reply.
"Nice talk. We have a lot of nice talks."
Sounds a little like "same old stuff, different day."
Perhaps that's too negative. But my take is that Mankins is saying that the problem isn't talking to Bill and it runs deeper than that.
I don't think Mankins' beef is with BB at all. Rather, his beef is with Kraft.
