Told you one of those other teams would overpay...

ESPN Radio just said "sorry guys, that was a fake account. Nevermind." Seriously????

It's one thing for a poster here to get duped by a fake account, but ESPN can't take the half-second to make sure it's legitimate before blasting it on the airwaves and sending out a notification to everyone with the app??

it's ESPN..can't expect too much

Looks like if they want a decent WR, they'll have to pay at least $4.5 - 5m+. Out of respect to Edelman, wouldn't the Pats be hesitant to give a new guy more than him?

@diannaESPN
It appears that the Falcons are the favorite to land Mohammed Sanu as their offer is over 7 million per year #Atlanta

Hahahahaa

That was from a fake account

Good.. Almost 20 million a year for a defensive end?? That would just be insane..

I wonder about this..if they pay a WR more..does it upset him since he would still probably be the best WR on the team?

 

[Joey007]

Hahahahaa

Good. Now go get Matthews or Kearse.

I have the same problem! Before I couldn't see embedded tweets at all due to adblock and ghostery, I dealt with that so I could see them finally. But now there's just "loading tweet".

Yup. Same problem. Can't figure it out...

Cimini for the JEts said Powell market heating up...but no Pats

I'm alright with that as well.

Doug Martin balled last year behind a mediocre at best line. But I wouldn't pay him that money

 

[Ring 6]

That is just stupid.

I think out of respect for themselves they need to be hesitant to give any of those guys $5m per.

I don't think they can retroactively try to reprice the whole roster so no one gets offended, and no one's stopping them from giving Edelman a bump if it's a concern. The problem isn't giving a new guy more, it's giving more to someone who is clearly an inferior/average/JAG player that doesn't really make the team better.

Jules and Amendola (may still adjust) had their runs at FA and got what they got, plenty in an uproar over Gronk voicing an opinion over his deal are saying "he signed it!" And they're right. Jules signed his deal too.

 

[Deus Irae]

Holy cow! Sanu's gotten a $7m+ offer from the Falcons.


Has the world gone mad?

 

[zimmy]

Every year it's the same - average players get overpaid. We should just wait for the bargains in a few days.

Not much difference between Sanu and the bargain basement store. I do wonder if we misjudged the market though?

I don't want anybody on this team nicknamed "Muscle Hamster"

This team has enough hamsters as it is...

 

[sb1]

$7M+ a year for Sanu? Pass.

Is this sarcasm? If not, check out Malik Jackson's contract.

 

[jah]

Also, >7M per year for Sanu is one of the biggest jokes of free agency. If anything he's a slightly better LaFell, putting his value at 4-5M/year.
