He wasn't coming back to the Pats anyway...Hope he gets mucho dinero......

Hey, it's a business and I'm sure he's happy getting paid. It'll be interesting to see both the terms of the deal and how motivated he is after a new contract.

Well I mean that was known the second "Jamie Collins traded to the Browns" was reported.

Shows were his heart is.

Good luck rotting in Cleveland.

 

[nabwong]

Just think of how many superbowl tickets he could buy.

Making millions is the opposite of rotting.
I wouldn't pay him as a Patriots fan, but I can't fault him for cashing in.

 

[The Gr8est]

Gotta wonder why he didn't wait and test the FA waters. Either the Browns are overpaying him, or his agent didn't think the market would be what they were hoping.

Because he traded him self there

This is good for the Pats. Sets some parameters for a future Hightower contract without having to extend an offer themselves.

 

[Wheelman]

Good for Jamie! I hope he's invited to our Superbowl ring ceremony this summer!

I'm guessing it's an overpay.

If he had walked the Browns would have looked foolish.

Good and bad.

But cashing in with 20% less salary with the Patriots, gives you fame, and it gives you a chance to win a Super Bowl every year. Which you would think would give you more endorsement deals to make up for the salary and you get to compete and win..

Money ain't everything. But maybe the Pats weren't even close to what he is going to make.


And of course TB is coming to the end of his career, so maybe the Super Bowls are less likely..

Wasn't the pick associated with the trade conditional? I thought the pick was higher if the Browns retained him.

 

[brdmaverick]

I'm surprised he's staying considering it's Cleveland.

I figured he'd be going out of his mind watching the playoffs this year but I guess not.

 

[ViperGTS]

Because he traded him self there

Yeah, by his actions he did.
