The name thing really bothers me. Sorry, just does.
Consider yourself bailed outFixed it just for you. Unfortunately, the poll question will read as is unless a mod can bail me out.
That's OK. The second 'c' is capitalized, but at least now I feel comfortable voting.Fixed it just for you. Unfortunately, the poll question will read as is unless a mod can bail me out.
I really do think he will be back. The only way we won't keep him is if we have to spend too much on Revis.
I just cannot possibly imagine that Devin would opt to join the Colts. I mean, after ALL the crap that POS team and their literal cokehead owner put the team and its fans through in the leadup to the Super Bowl you are going to consider going there? They were literally claiming that every single one of the team's, and in turn Devin's, accomplishments were worthless and tainted. They slandered him and threw his team mates through the mud. Seriously, sign with the Jets, the Titans, the Jags I don't care. But not the Colts. Do you have any self respect Devin?
All that being said I hope to god he stays here.
I think bb had told us everything we need to know when he did not tag mccourty.
I voted no. I have a feeling the Colts, Jets, or Giants will pay him 8+. We already know New England didn't want him for one year at 9. I'm not an expert on the current market conditions for a FS of his caliber, but its gotta be close to the tag number they weren't comfortable with.
I don't think Belichick told us anything except the team didn't have the cap room to ever consider tagging McCourty.
The franchise tag isn't used very often. Other than kickers, it was only used on four players Monday. At high price positions, it doesn't make any sense to use it on anyone but a... ahem.... FRANCHISE player. You don't see many safeties getting the franchise tag, just like you don't see many safeties getting drafted in the first round.
People are reading way too much into an obvious decision not to franchise tag a safety.
If they offer him 10 mill a year and New England is closer to 7 or even 8, (doubt it since they didn't tag him at 9) Pats fans should hold no I'll will against him.
Your take is a fans point of view. From his point of view, he has a short window to capitalize on a very rare set of talents. From age 35 on he will rely on this money he's making off this contract.
