Re: TBC's contract terminated (merged)
Wouldn't the Pats just renegotiate the agreement and cancel the former contract in the current agreement? Plus, $620 k is not much in terms of cap space recovered. With 3 sacks and money in hand, I don't see how that gamble helps the Pats. Given some of the LB injuries on other teams, I expect he will not be on the market for long.
Ok, just trying to piece some things together here, based on Reiss' last post.
Is it possible that the Patriots wanted to sign TBC to a longer-term deal? As I understand it, he's set to become a UFA at the end of the year. If he and the Patriots wanted to extend the contract, they would have to do so at the end of the year. By cutting him before the trading deadline, he doesn't have to clear waivers and he becomes a UFA right now, right? So maybe there's already a deal in place to extend him.
The dangerous part, I guess, is that once he's cut he's free to sign with anyone. But maybe this was all part of a prearranged deal to extend the contract.
