I like that and hope he gets a nice fair deal here.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Got to do it. The guy is a legit superstar

 

[PrairiePat]

Glad he's guaranteed to be a Patriot next year. Hope they can work out a deal instead of having to leave the tag on.

Franchise the beast!!!!

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Rosenthal is just guessing. I don’t think he has any insider info.

 

[Joker]

Fake news?

 

[HailHydra]

It's literally a projection - the same amount of value as an article that predicts we make a trade for OBJ.

 

[BelichickFan]

Article definitely seems like an opinion not a fact. But watching the games I don't see how we can let him go Even being expensive, on a long term deal the cap hit for the first year or two wouldn't be bad.

"Bill Belichick is loath to use the franchise tag, but Flowers could (and should) represent an exception," writes Rosenthal.

Don’t stop the presses.

(OP might want to change thread title.)

Does not sound like any real info, just an opinion on what should be done. Not necessarily a bad one though.

Just his opinion on what they should do

Man that’s 17.5 million. You’d think they’d offer him a long term deal that isn’t as much of a 1 year cap hit.

Even if the article is true and they tag him, nothing is guaranteed at all about whether or not Flowers actually plays for NE next season.

Anyone else sensing a tag and trade to Oakland?
Belichick would love to fleece Oakland.

Even if the article is true and they tag him, nothing is guaranteed at all about whether or not Flowers actually plays for NE next season.

At the very least, it would prevent him from hitting free agency next month, keep the talks going through the deadline near training camp, and give them a higher round draft pick if they can’t work something out.

I freaking hope not. Flowers is a key piece.

Well....that’s the point right? The reason to tag him is because you don’t think he’d take the long term offer and you want him to play for another year despite a tough cap hit over that time.

Curious to learn how Flowers feels about the tag (which is still a hypothetical IMO).

I freaking hope not. Flowers is a key piece.

If you can't come to a long-term agreement you have to trade him.
