It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Oh good grief, Woods at this point in his career is by no means equivalent to Jarvis who was a UFA when he signed his contract. Pierre was a pleasant, but short-lived surprise for NE when he took over for Thomas. He had three starts before he was placed on IR. Green had already sacked Peyton Manning at least twice in the playoffs and filled in all along the DL as the #4 DE by the time his contract came up. Pierre finished the season with 35 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 PD - very positive, but not enough to justify Jarvis money. I'd be willing to split the difference between Yates and Green for Pierre, but he's not yet ready to be a commodity.We continue to accept losing players because of the "need" to allow for the franchising if Cassel and the "need" to pay $29M for the QB position, at least for several months. I don't expect to lose ANY players because of Cassel.
Yes, a 2-3 deal with no RFA would be best for the patriots, but why would Woods sign a deal unless it is for starter's pay like Green? Woods can just wait for the tender and negotiate with several teams.

Oops! So he was an RFA who signed an extension or he was tendered to buy time to negotiate and later extended? I checked your page and I'm not clear on the sequence of events. Thank you!Green was a RFA when he signed his deal. His RFA tender was $1,430,000.00
