Reportedly 5 years. [edited to include link]

Patriots Comeback Player of the Year.

Can Scar coach the whole 5 years too?

Well, he played really good this year against some pretty good pass-rushers. If he continues like this i don't mind it...

 

[I.M. Fletcher]

What a huge turnaround in a year.

Considering the amount of guys we had that needed extensions, cannon would have been at the bottom of my list in the summer. His play has come miles since then, and has really solidified a very tough position for us.

Good for him. Well earned.

One of the few big ones left is done, very nice. It'll be for fairly big money, he's a good RT now.

This is no surprise to me at all -- in fact, the surprise was the fact that it didn't happen during the bye week. I figured he and Blount were the top two candidates for the early extension as they both seem to really love it here. Scar loves him and he clearly gets the best out of Cannon, and clearly Cannon appreciates it as well.

Anyone want to say goodbye to Vollmer now and get it over with?

show of hands from people who guessed cannon would get extended and collins/jones would both be on different teams by the start of the second half this year?

 

[Wheelman]

Watch Scar retire and Cannon's play decline!

 

[I.M. Fletcher]

My guess is 6 x 5 = 30mill total.

Good points he played so well under Scar I hope the Patriots brass have some OL Protege under Scar.

Who???

I bet its only a "real" 2 or 3 year deal as he'll be 29 next May.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

The number of "gheesh Cannon" comments in the gameday threads has been down to zero this year.

He has earned the RT spot, and yes this means Vollmer is not coming back.

Hightower next please!

Can't believe after last year but....

Yates said in the neighborhood of Mitchell Swhartz' deal, which is 5 yrs 33 million.

They almost all are now. a deal written with pencil with a hovering eraser.

Based on how Cannon has played this year, if we waited until the offseason he may have cost a fortune if he contains the AFC West pass rushers.

I hope he continues his stellar play vs. Miller, Houston, Mack, etc. He will be one of our most important players in the playoffs.

....and White-Out just in case the agent uses a pen.
