PFT: Belichick sees Dramatic Improvement in Mac

[RobertWeathers]

I assume immediate cap space will be realized.

Played well.

Still young.

Bleh makes it even worse. I was hoping for more room than that.

if this number is true, i expected more as well

 

[TheRainMaker]

This is very disappointing. It's quite weird to see players in any sport get rewarded from mediocre to bad play, but it happens.

So in essence the player is judged over the cap space his extension saves?

...all the are doing is moving money around.

no, not the player, just this move is judged by the saved cap space
i kind of hoped this move would free up the money to sign flowers/richardson

Godchaux-65

This guy was not good enough last year. Maybe year 2 will be a revelation

 

[Froob]

I like Godchaux, but feels like an overpay

I still can’t figure out the consensus on him. Half of fans says he’s solid, half say he sucks.

Dude sucks, especially for the checks he's cashing.

Godchaux is going to be a beast for us this year, mark it down!!!

Yeah...No.

 

[TheRainMaker]

This looks like something from The Onion.

 

[Kontradiction]

That’s a big time overpay for what he provides. We could have stayed put in the 1st round, taken Wyatt to play the 3-tech, and then watched Strange on day 2 while saving the money.

 

[Sicilian]

I thought he was average to below average. I won’t pretend to be some sort of D-line expert but the run defense was pretty spotty last year and we just re-upped our “run stopper”.

No one player is responsible for a team's run defense, and we've essentially wholesale swapped the LB group. I think it's fair to say BB didn't think Godchaux was the problem in run defense last year.

WTF! Does Bill think he is good at evaluating IDL or something! I’m outraged! Actually, hold on a minute (checks Bill’s IDL track record over the past 20+). Never mind

.

 

[Rob0729]

I wasn't all that impressed with Godchaux last year and thought he was a candidate to be cut, but I will say our LBers were the big problem with the run defense. They were so slow that many times the opposing RB wouldn't even be touched by a defender until they got into the secondary. Godchaux was tying up blockers for the LBs to make plays on a lot of running downs and the LBs failed.

And as for the money, the way the salary cap is going to explode the next few years, what he is getting might be not nearly as bad as we think it is today. Again, this is money for 2023 and 2024 and not this year.

I am not a fan of the deal, but I don't think I am as upset as others.

 

[jah]

$10M/year doesn't mean what it used to mean even 2-3 years ago, and it's going to mean even less by the end of the contract. Not a huge deal.

yup BB's record the past 20 years obviously means that BB never evaluates a player wrong
