Jeff Howe updates the Andre Carter situation:
Still Andre Carter country? - BostonHerald.com
According to Howe, Carter wants to come back to the Pats to the point where he has declined overtures from other teams. But he's also looking for a 3-4 year deal at Pro Bowl DE kind of money according to Howe. I can't see the Pats going for that given Carter's age and coming off a significant injury.
That article looks like pure speculation to me. there are no quotes anf no mention of his agent and I'm sure carter is smart enough to let his agent negotiate, if there's even any real negotiation at this point.
3-4 years at Pro bowl DE money? He might as well take those lucrative offers from other teams he's ignoring, I'm sure the team would agree and thank him for the year. Howe's already got them negotiating between that and one year at last years money to a two year contract or incentives which means he's mentioned every possibility in the world including some that won't happen.
Seems like he's throwing a bunch of stuff at a wall, to me, at least I'll assume that until i see something with quotes, or "Andre said", or "his agent said?"
Good thing for Howe is, no matter what happens, he'll be right, since he's mentioned anything that could happen involving a contract, our team, or another team.
