I had a feeling that might happen. Earlier in the offseason, I read that Kaczur might be gone too. It will be interesting to see if that's true. We need OL Depth.

 

[patsfan13]

Lots of decisions, if cutting TBC and Kaczue means keeping Mankins and Light... it has to be done.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Don't understand why these big men are so fearful of relatively minor surgery. Not to mention if you're gonna go the rest it route you better leave time to test it...

 

[townes]

Good, the new deal was a bad one, and the late surgery is hard to understand. I thought it might happen once he was healthy because I didn't think they could do it now but I'm glad to see them pull the trigger now.

 

[stevedogc]

according to Miquel's page, that saves the Pats 1.85 mil.

Per SMY Twitter:

Banta-Cain had surgery four days ago to repair an abdominal strain; his salary cap number for this season was to be $4.5 million

 

[fthft]

so... we have eric moore, rob ninkovich, and jermaine cunningham now. AWESOME.

Hey TBC, how is that waiting till camp opens to have offseason surgery working out for you ?

Wrong Thread.. This belongs in the UDFA Signings thread.

so lame. Hopefully we invest the savings in a Roth, Matt Roth. (or Mathias Kiwanuka)

 

[patsfan13]

Adrian Murrell is feeling a bit better today.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Hopefully they can find an upgrade to him (which shouldn't be hard).

Cunningham and then who? Carter?????? Nikovich?????

 

[bucky]

according to Miquel's page, that saves the Pats 1.85 mil.

According to that same page, it means we paid him $7 mil for 1 so-so year. Which is about half of what Julius Peppers got from the Bears.

 

[patsfan13]

Hopefully they can find an upgrade to him (which shouldn't be hard).

Cunningham and then who? Carter?????? Nikovich?????

I think Moore with a year in the system will be a credible pass rusher. I hope Cunningham stays healthy this year.

 

[crowell33]

so... we have eric moore, rob ninkovich, and jermaine cunningham now. AWESOME.

The good news is last year was a career year for all 3 !

Nink had a career high 4 sacks.
Moore had a career high 2 sacks.
and Rookie Cunningham had 1 sack !

There is someone big coming aboard. Has to be.
