The Patriots can't get into the mindset of shoring themselves up in some positions while weakening themselves in others. They can't get on that merry-go-round because it'll never end. There's no need to do it anyway with all the cap space.I can’t believe they won’t franchise tag him if they can’t resign him. It’s going to be hard enough to replace the left tackle let alone both.
That's what local media would do, but Fowler at ESPN has a better reputation that that. He got this from someone inside Foxboro now, but it's weird because they don't even have a GM yet.sounds like some one trowing darts to see if any hit
They don't have a choice if he wants to leave.They shouldn’t let him go. The offensive line is a huge problem, don’t weaken it any further. They have the money to pay him.
Franchise tag?They don't have a choice if he wants to leave.
Franchise tag is $18m, transition is $16m.They don't have a choice if he wants to leave.
Franchise Tag is 21.7 million for one year.Franchise tag?
Yikes. Tough spot for us but what other option do we have?Franchise Tag is 21.7 million for one year.
I'm not paying Mike Onwenu 21 million for any year.Franchise tag is $18m, transition is $16m.
This could be worth it for one year so you can avoid giving him the $60m guaranteed that McGlinchey got.
I don't think this is the narrative they can stomach.On one hand, I think they should bring him back because otherwise RT and LT are both vacant.
On the other hand, he'll be very expensive whether it's a re-sign or a franchise tag, and he's not an elite RT in the first place. The draft has a good crop of tackles. And maybe they think with a full offseason, one of Lowe or Wheatley can become the new RT.
Where did you get $21m? When I just searched it, I only found 2023, which was $18m.I'm not paying Mike Onwenu 21 million for any year.
"We're just doing what's best for the team"I don't think this is the narrative they can stomach.
One of the critiques in the Wickersham article is that they didn't expend team resources on tackles, and that was coming from the sources inside Foxboro. How could they justify that if that's one of the critiques?
