So he's white and been a bust so that means he'll definitely be as successful here as Vrabel? Come on.Guess you've never heard of Mike Vrabel and Rob Ninkovich.
Terrible comparison. This guy is not in the same universe as great of an athlete as Collins is.That would be Jamie Collins in college.
I'd just like to point out that BB didn't pay Ninkovich the 2009 equivalent of 3 years/$12M and probably didn't pay Vrabel that much before either had proven anything.
And Mcclellin is not even expected to be a starter....he's a backup linebacker.
Does anyone know how much the cap gonna increase over the next 3 years? Maybe this deal makes sense relative to that......

I can't quite fathom why you're being so irrational. It's not like he's being paid an enormous amount. It's a low risk move by the Patriots with very little guaranteed. I don't see the problem.Sounds like all the more reasons not to give him the contract they did.

The money is still too high for my liking for a guy that's been a complete bust like McClellin. To me these kind of bad contracts add up. They could have signed an impact player for the money they're blowing on Cannon/McClellin.I can't quite fathom why you're being so irrational. It's not like he's being paid an enormous amount.

I don't know how high you think his ceiling is.... at least with Forte, you know you're paying for an elite talent. Has Mcclellin done anything to command this much money?

This is the problem. He hasn't been a complete bust. When moved to ILB, he was reasonably productive. Not a world beater, but reasonable. It's not his fault he was drafted in the first round just the same it wasn't Ras-IR's fault the Patriots drafted him in the first round (edit at the top of the second round).The money is still too high for my liking for a guy that's been a complete bust like McClellin.

I dunno. Has Hogan? Hogan is being paid more.
So I suppose I could sit here and grumble about BB. Maybe he thinks that McClellin has the potential and wants to have him under contract in case they can't sign DH or JC.

To me, this has Akeem Ayers reclamation project written all over it.
Thanks for the correction. The amendment has been made.Just a small nitpick, but Ras-IR was actually the first pick of round 2. Was a big deal, we were supposed to have millions of trade suitors willing to give up a boatload (they say that about the 33rd pick every year) and we end up taking this guy.......damn.
What pisses me off the most about the McClellin signing is that the FO is too busy signing JAGs like him
and NOT BUSY ENOUGH trying to find and sign a starting-caliber LG and LT.
