Jared Veldheer to retire

Not open for further replies.
Is there a way to recoup this guy SB? It is not fair to sign a contract and say bye and keep the money...
 
d%#*!@t. I looked forward to having the tackle depth.
 
I believe the tradition is one run up the hill after practice before announcing retirement.

Oh well.
Who had Veldheer in the retirement pool?
 
An emotional day
 
We hardly knew him.

Now hes gone.
 
Thanks for the memories, Jared. Doesn’t feel long ago that you first came through that door. You may be gone, but your contributions have been stitched into the Patriots fabric forever.
 
It would be ethical for him to pay it back and appropriate for the league to provide relief.
Howe just tweeted re: the 750k, "It's up to him, but the player usually ends up keeping it.". Now, there's some ethical tradition...
 
Unless he retires prior to t-camp. We haven't had one of those in a few years :)
Italics = joking

Todays winning fan Boris saw the writing on the wall 5/7/19.

I'm sorry but that disgusts me.

...and I don't care if BB told Wayne to keep the $400k, he still should have given it back.
 
Will he beat Richard Seymour to the Pats Hall of Fame?

Meh, he probably should give it back, but this doesn't bother me that much. Players have so few points of actual leverage in the NFL, and many of them don't live great lives after the game. It sucks for the Pats, but I'm not going to begrudge a player for keeping every cent he can for retirement life until the team/league makes him do otherwise.
 
Ummmm, WTF is this? How often does this happen with other teams? There should be a holiday named after these veteran signs/veteran retires signings.

Maybe we should set this up as an annual betting event.

Barry Sanders and Megatron would like to discuss that with Mr. Howe.
