Asante wants the money. It's OK to say that as he has certainly outperformed his rookie contract as a 4th round pick. The current cost of franchising Asante would be $7.79M. Before people start saying that this is out of the Patriots Braintrusts range based on their value system, I wanted to show you something:
$7.79M/ $109M = 7.15% of the total value of the Pats '07 cap (or about 1 out of every 14 cap dollars).
Ty Law '04
$10.2M/ $79.24M = 12.88% of available cap
'03
$8.8M/ $74.61M = 11.8% of available cap
'02
$4.55M/ $71.1M = 6.4% of available cap
It was a contract that B/P inherited from the previous administration granted, but they did honor it for the next four years because of Ty Laws monetary value fit within their respective Patriot values. I'd love some comments on this, Graham, and other prospective free agents...
