They gave basically the same amount to Bo Ruud, so what's the problem with giving it to Ingram?

I'll see your lolcat, and raise you a lolcat of my own......
The Big Sey fund is about as likely as a hillbilly college fund. They wont make that mistake again. The long snapper can go as well.Maybe every little bit counts when it comes to having the "extension for Vince or Big Sey" fund large enough?
Sounds like he plans on being cut by 2010 and wants his money up front.Man, a long snapper holdout, leading to the inevitable long snapper controversy with Nathan Hodel. Buckle up, this could get nasty.
Cut his ass.
Not to be facetious, but put yourself in Ingram's shoes. Why should he be asked to give up some of his signing bonus when guys like Pryor or Richard get their full bonus upfront, even though historically there's no guarantee they'll be Patriots either next year?

But you're right. Who ever heard of a long-snapper holdout?
Right, that's what I meant. If he figures the only money he is going to get is his signing bonus, then he needs to get as much as he can upfront. That's what he is doing. If the Pats feel he isn't as good as Hodel and only have him for insurance, then they need to make his bonus as small as possible. Which is what they are doing.Well, he is a sixth round pick on a team without many roster positions available, already has veteran competition for the position, and in a year where the Pats had six rookies entering camp drafted in the second or third round (granted one is on IR). The guy is facing an uphill battle to make the 2009 team. He may make the practice squad, but isn't likely to make the active roster.
If he is relegated to the practice squad, that means he was cut by the team and passed through waivers. That means his contract would be null and void and even if he made the 2010 roster, he wouldn't get the roster bonus.
