PATRIOTS NEWS Pats go good on missed incentive for Mack Hollins

[Patjew]

Great news. Now he can afford some ****ing shoes.

And maybe some of those walking shoes too

The comment implied the Patriots giving Hollins 400k proves they aren’t cheap.
The 400k is charged to the cap.
The cap is mine already alloted to be signed on all players comp
It isn’t extra money the decided to Patrice and above they’re player comp budget it’s part of it

Do you dispute this?

If by this you mean the $400K is part of the 2026 cap and their 2026 cash budget, I do not dispute that. What I am disputing the Patriots have already decided what their 2026 cash budget will be. I also dispute Hollins' $400K was taken from another player's 2026 compensation. Therefore, I dispute your conclusion of "In other words they gave it to him instead of someone else, not over and above."

Nah, those are a dime a dozen.

I’m not going to argue semantics.
The money was part of the player comp pool, the statement that it was given to him instead of someone else means it come out of the money they have to spend on players so they now have 400k less to spend on other players rather than the implied idea that this means they aren’t cheap because they didn’t extra money

It was a turn of phrase, in retrospect it seems pretty obvious my brain was napping. As a rule I avoid tweaking the tiger's tail, in fact I go out of my way to avoid it

NO NAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THOSE shoes go on HER. I suppose he could buy them as a gift but the implication would be pretty obvious. (Also a popular Hispanic truism states if you buy a woman shoes, she'll wear them to walk away from you.)

You've opened a real can of worms here, PJ.

Is that Maust's wife he keeps talking about?

Had nothing to do with his feet... it was his spleen.

n/s. shoeless joke

isn’t the entire starting point of your argument based upon semantics?

Well, I have to say it, but Andy, by choosing to engage with Miguel, the acknowledged NEP & NFL cap master, in an argument about THE CAP, either has BRASS BALLS or his ADDICTION TO ARGUING knows NO BOUNDS and overwhelms whatever shards of common sense he ever had going for him.

- I defer to individual readers to make their own judgement about A vs B

ZZZIIINNGGGG……spot on.
-Isn’t EVERY ANDY ARGUMENT purely about semantics, at least in the 2, 3, 4, 5, ad infinitum responses in that he changes word meanings or if necessary original quotes to give himself a fresh strawman to knock down.

It’s not a cap knowledge argument.

Your obsession with me is noted. And creepy.

Wrong again….
I’m the fish that’s not biting. Here’s the only reply you get from me:

Remember, happy wife = happy life

It is known.
And yet in one of those marital ironies, happy husband = suspicious wife.

 

[your wife]

We who are about to die salute you

Don't you dare die. You haven't come close to finishing your to do list for the weekend.

Why would he need shoes for just one activity when he doesn’t wear them for anything else?

It’s called “safe sex,” duh…
