Patriots Player Departure Official 2021 Cutdown Day Thread

[Love The Drake]

What's tough? If you choose to keep Nordin, you essentially choose to lose a few games on missed kicks.

This aged well.

A bit of a surprise on Folk based on his contract alone. Wasn't a ton of money but I think it was all guaranteed.

About 75-80%. $1.225m guaranteed.

I guess whatever they're paying Nordin about evens out then when combined with whatever was left over.

 

[DaBruinz]

Do we have an updated version of the roster for where things stand?

Yeah.. There is the 2021/2022 Patriots Roster Transaction Thread:

 

[Ring 6]

Are we going for 2 more this year with the OL & TEs? I don’t trust the rookie to make 95% of XPs.

Evidently belichick does.

I stand by it. We chose to lose 3 games.

It leaves two potential positive Patriots options in place.

1.) Folk to the practice squad, having already been paid
2.) Folk to return to his business, and keep ready, just in case

Of course, Folk could move on, but that's apparently a risk BB is willing to take.

Agreed. Seems like they are giving Nordin the job but with a short leash to start.

Or boom 60 yd field goals.

Yeah, good point - since it was an almost-entirely-guaranteed deal, he's probably not bothered at all. However, I suspect he'll get a call from another team willing to pay him another million this year.

More big news on cutdown day:

 

[captain stone]

Field Yates says that Nordin is sticking.

Boy has Bill really ****ed-up this position the last two offseasons.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Yup, also a man with a bad back here....

The back is super valuable for even the smallest things in life.....like breathing!

Me too.

I just bought one of those yoga ball chairs. Only supposed to sit in it for a couple of hours. That and stretching/core work has helped.

Yea Folk sucked last year. <rolling eyes>

 

[Deus Irae]

How so? Because of the new rules, there's an easy way to have Nordin insurance. If Folk plays ball, they can, in theory, put him on the PS and activate him every week.

especially when we could have made Kraft and everyone happy with YoungHoe

That’s really smart.

Folk missed all of two kicks last year, that's not too shabby.

We'll get to watch a few of those too. Just get ready for 60% accuracy.
