Marcus Cannon extension

Marcus Cannon is completely shutting down his side of the Field didn't hear Cliff Avril's name mentioned against the Sea Hawks also didn't hear Muhammad Wilkerson's name mentioned against the Jets those guys are known sack masters. Would love to see how he fears against Von Miller the Great in Denver that Match-up could go a far way in deciding that game.

The love for Cannon is now official.
Not on this board yet but we are coming around.

I expect Fleming to stay as well. Focus in FA & draft clearly on DL, LB, possibly CB.

Based on how Cannon has played this year, if we waited until the offseason he may have cost a fortune if he contains the AFC West pass rushers.

I hope he continues his stellar play vs. Miller, Houston, Mack, etc. He will be one of our most important players in the playoffs.

Well said beat me to it.

Whoever called this at the beginning of the season raise your hand.

Thank god--always loved this guy. (This is never not funny to me to say.)

Kudos to Thornton!

Five Players the Patriots MUST Sign

Well earned....he is having a very good year so far!!!!

I did say that with Scar back Cannon would have a good chance to play like he did at the end of the 2013 season when he replaced Vollmer. He played a very competent RT.

No way in hell I thought he would play at THIS level.

He might be their best OL right now.

I haven't heard of Cannon and didn't have reasons to complain, and that is a good thing.

Next need is at left tackle.

The Scar factor lives on from Turn-style to Barrier Marcus Cannon that is.

Solder is fine. Not great but not terrible.

Good stuff. If Mason can improve on his pass blocking a bit, and our younger guys continue to improve we should be in pretty great shape going forward on the O-line.

Solder's contract runs out at the end of next year, correct? Hoping they don't touch his contract and evaluate a possible better option.

Good timing and smart move from both sides.
When both sides win is always the best feeling.
Looking forward to a few more before 12/30 deadline.

• Yates mentions that Cannon’s new contract is expected to be in the neighborhood of Mitchell Schwartz’s five-year, $33 million deal with the Chiefs that included $15 million guaranteed.

Before CB ... Ryan is back on track and Rowe is playing really well, i would bring a RG/C

Solder throws some good Block in the Run Game and on Screens but his pass protection leaves a lot to be desired. If Brady didn't know Solders tendencies in pass protection he would be carted off already. Solder wouldn't be a LT on another Team. I wouldn't rule out a LT type in our next Draft for Solder down the road.

Solder's a mediocrity, no question, IMO. But he's not making big money next year, with most of it guaranteed ($6.5m plus small bonuses, $4.2m guaranteed), so my guess is that it's more likely they'll be looking to groom a LT for 2018 than they'll be looking for a 2017 replacement.

Overall happy to hear it but I am not a fan we are giving him 5 years based off 11 overall well played games. It is a risk and i would have liked a prove it deal next year just to see if he could do it back to back years.

Overall though that is one key spot down.

Does Scar get kickbacks from the O-linemen?

That's crazy. Solder is a pure tackle and a pure left tackle at that. He's been consistently excellent since he's been here. His loss last year devastated the team. Not to say we shouldn't draft a tackle, but Nate Solder is not a weak link on this team.

5 years could it be Cannon or could they just re-up Solder next year he won't cost too much I think.
