Doubtful now that Sammy is back, and Taylor is coming back soon(I HOPE anyways with him practicing) as well.
Unless I counted the years wrong, he's playing for a new contract.
His contract is up at the end of next year. Then we'll see if the Pats organization and the Maroney fans here see eye-to-eye.
I think resigning him is a no-brainer... at the right price/length. Last thing we want is for him to get complacent with a fat contract, not that he's earned it in his time here. Even though he is still very young, I would prefer to see a 1-2 year contract.
Maroney had 94 yards on 22 carries yesterday with Morris and Faulk both active.
He's a 664 yards through 13 games. He needs 182 yards in 3 games to surpass his 2007 career best. That works out to less than 61 YPG. He's been averaging almost 70 YPG over the last 8 games since we started giving him the ball.
Not a given, but his chances are favorable. It's extremely unlikely, but not impossible, that he could even get to 1000 yards this season, which would require him to average 112 YPG over the next 3 games.
