Broncos agree to contract with Saurbrun; Pats can match

[Dragda]

Since we picked up the option bonus for Miller, it's pretty much guaranteed that he remains a Patriot and Saurbrun goes unmatched.

What do you think of my sitcom idea, Patjew?

It's called Paddy, the Irish Mohel. His secret is just a touch of the Bushmill's to steady the nerves.

Every episode is the same, he always drinks too much and everyone wonders if he can rise to the occasion.

Hilarity ensues.

Reminds me of a real Irish ditty "Moses Ritooraliooraliyay" More details available if anyone cares

Pats have right of first refusal--can match offer to keep him. If they did not want him, they would not have negoatitaed this option, RIght? So I'm guessing Pats match.

as long as Josh is coming back...Sauerkraut is HISTORY....guy not very impressive here in NE......and Miller is a TOP shelf Punter...!

unless that nfl.com link is wrong, it looks like the pats matched the contract

Why would you like Sauerbrun better than Miller? Miller is a much better punter than Sauerbrun.

Well this was my feeling by a landslide....maybe I'll have to recheck their stats while in NE....

Who cares about the friggin Pro-Bowl. That means NOTHING.

Sauerbrun STUNK last year in the regular season for us. 25 yards per punt return? All because he thought he knew better than the coach.

The only PLUS I can see of having Sauerbrun on the team is as a reserve kicker. Though we have one of those as well in Welker.

25 yards per punt return?"

Well...this is what I remember too,....his overall average sucked didn't it? Plus, he was crying like a school boy that just got dumped by his "dream" girl after Denver offed him......."I pray someday I can get back there".....F' that.....get him/her outta here!!!!

If the Pats matched I think there's only one reason. They want the Broncos to cough up a draft pick before letting him leave. Although what we'd do with yet ANOTHER 6th rounder is beyond me.

I like both punters... but, I supose that Miller would fit the bill.

What was Miller's injury again? I guess I must have forgot...

I believe it was a shoulder injury.

2008? Future considerartions? Ha, we're just messing with you? Stop chop-blocking our D-linemen?

What's its title? Paddy Whack?

The Pats will wait until the 23rd hour of the 7th day to announce

that they will not match the offer.
