The Patriots are apparently playing hardball with Waters:

In other words, he's in the same boat as Mankins would have been if he failed to report in 2010: still one full season away from FA.
Since the trade deadline has passed, the only way Waters will be playing for a team in TX next year is if he comes to NE for the remainder of this season.
So, of course, Jason Whitlock says this:

Got the official word on Waters. He will not be a free agent in '13 if he fails to show this season. His contract is tolled, or frozen.

3. I still can’t believe Patriots guard Brian Waters is going to sit out the entire season.
I expect Waters to play next season for the Cowboys or Texans, teams in his home state.
