On a side note, looks like breaking down the franchise number for Ts, G, and Cs as separate positions didn't happen.
He should tell the Patriots that he'd be glad to talk about an extension that kicks in after his franchise season.
For $10 million I think we'd all do the same. His pay was cut last year after not reporting, plus he only played in the latter half of the season, so Logan is hungry for some paychecks. Good financial decision on his part.
A new deal has to be on the way.
10m guaranteed reasons to sign. But glad that this is official now. So really the only signficant free agent left to worry about is Light. Also if the Pats do reach a long term deal with Mankins they should be able to get some more cap space back.

The Patriots would love to do such a deal.
They'd want the deal to replace the franchise year, just as Mankins wanted his deal to replace the RFA deal.
Having it kick in after the franchise would mean his signing bonus would move out to year two. I'm sure the Patriots would love that.
I doubt it, given that there would still be guaranteed money to be paid, and the $10 million cap hit would still be there in 2011.
the idea would be to make the deal now to reduce the cap number, giving the team more flexibility.
It obviously would depend on the other parameters of the deal but I'm sure that would be something they could definitely work around if it is what he really wants. The year they sign him to a long term deal, they are going to pay him a lot more than $10m. In any event, why would Mankins want to push out his signing bonus to next year?
This. I would love to see this done now so we could talk about a possible veteran RG replacement for neal and/or a Todd Light extension. Pay this man.
BTW. Glad to be back on patsfans was pretting depressing only coming on to read/discuss the lockout; hope everybody's well.
