It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Don't forget Tom Curran said that the Pats offer would make Mankins either the third or fourth highest paid guard in the league depending how you look at the deal. But that is after Jahri Evans got his deal, but the Pats offered Mankins this deal before Evans got his deal. Which means that, if Curran is right, at the time the Pats offered Mankins his contract it was either the second or third best contract for a guard ever.
Assuming that Curran's info is good, I cannot fathom how the Pats gave Mankins the shaft especially since both sides seem to agree the Pats made this initial offer and Mankins never countered. So all we know is the type of initial offer the Pats made and not where they would have bargain to.
What if the promise the Pats allegedly broke was to make Mankins the highest paid LG in the league?
besides kaczur, what young players can we put in at guard?
i don't know if kaczur fits the guard type - he's got long arms which is more suited for OT. LBs can take advantage of that.

You hit the nail on the head, theres no way Mankins was getting shafted with the deal the Pats offered.Don't forget Tom Curran said that the Pats offer would make Mankins either the third or fourth highest paid guard in the league depending how you look at the deal.

If it was only 10-20% increase that they were talking about, I am pretty sure none of us would have an issue. However, we're talking about a 400-450% increase. Mankins salary last year was just 1.4 million. (cap hit of 2.2 million). Personally, he's not in the ELITE group yet. He just doesn't have the consistency, which is disappointing as he showed the potential to be almost as good as Hannah or Hutchinson. ANd he's not gotten there yet.

Tamba Hali of KC and Ahmad Brooks, of SF they are both good young OLB's not stars but good players and both will be FA's next year.
in this system no OLB not named DeMarcus Ware, James Harrison, or Elvis Dumervil, is going to have that big 12 to 15 sack season so is one year. of 7 or 8 sacks worth tradeing a all pro G for ?
i say try to work out a deal with mankins, and just let Jermaine Cunningham, play
