Well that makes it more understandable.. 7 mill a year, the pats were not going to pay a wr that much right now..

 

[patsfan-1982]

im a big fan of he's but he has missed 17 games in he's Career. and did not even play a down. in the playoffs this year. im not sure i wanna pay a guy 7million a year. to not be there come playoff time.

Are you being sarcastic? That's cheap.

We don't know all the other factors involved, and maybe a lot of it is guaranteed. Still sucks.

Damn, now I"m a little bummed out That's quite affordable for the impact he'd have here

Yes and No.. would they redo this contract to upset Randy Moss? I dont think they would have..

I'll take my chances in the draft with the strongest WR class in eons. one of those 2nds and the 4th should be spent on WRs.

Heck, I would make a trade and move back into the 3rd round (say 44 and 47 for a 1st and 3rd rounder) and take two WRs back to back in the 3rd and 4th.

This is the strongest WR crop in many moons. A lot of guy can really play, from Dez Bryant to Golden Tate to Damian Williams to Mardy Gilyard, etc.

Just saw the contract #s... wow, this is the steal of free agency no matter what else happens this offseason.

The Pats do great with draft picks to wr, like chad jackson and bethal johnson..


I think this had to do with trying to sign a contract...

Don't worry guys...

Coach BB is evaluating the local pizza boy from Dominos.

I hear trades are in the work.

 

[spacecrime]

You said what I wrote would be the worst possible situations. Those are reality kiddo.

Stop flip flopping, I'm not putting words in your mouth.

You attributed several things to him that he never said.

I would trade Aiken for a cold drink right now

$28M is a pretty fair contract for what Boldin would have done for us. Very disappointing.

 

[BadMoFo]

Haha, a 3rd and 4th. They could have got Derrick Burgess for that.

 

[WelshPat]

Great move for the Ravens, a guy who fits in with that teams physical punch you in the mouth style.

It's going to be one of those offseasons.
Break out the beer! :eat2:

Re: Aaron Wilson: Sources: Pats leader to land Boldin [Schefter: Deal close, BAL or K

As much as i would love to have Boldin. He will want a new deal at about 8 mil a year!!

And whats wrong with that people on this board have gotten to the point that on every deal your trying not to pay market value to these guys. The Pats are in trouble no one is taking discounts to come here or stay here unless they are 33 and up.
