eh... It's usually an honest mistake. It's just easily avoidable.

Never said it wasn't an honest mistake. We just live in an era of the 24 hour news cycle where everyone is racing to be first (at the expense of accuracy and fact checking).

It's sad that even people on this forum have to rush to be the first person to get the news out at the expense of verification.

Hey, have at it. I was just trying to cut the man a little slack after I'd already *****ed a bit.

If you get a tar and feather committee together, I'll join.

But sadly, Lou Gorman is no longer with us to have lunch.

Mike Gillislee going to know how winning and losing a very Big Lottery feels like.

If Peterson will settle for $3-4m, the Patriots should be hoping the Bills match, and then getting on the phone to Peterson's agent immediately thereafter.

Not that I would like that particularly . but I was actually thinking about Peterson's option coming to live in case Bills match .. Id guess we're not the only ones waiting..

AP visited NE not too long ago. The fact that the Patriots didn't make him an offer (or made him one that was substantially below what he was hoping) and has to settle for the Saints, tells me everything I need to know about his ability at this stage of his career. Remember, the Patriots had him work out and evaluated him thoroughly.

The guy clearly sucks.

For all we know AP's agent threw out loose parameters of what they were looking for and the Patriots didn't bother offering because it wasn't in the ballpark of what they were willing to pay.

Maybe AP's price dropped dramatically after another suitor bit the dust (i.e. Pats presumably acquiring Gillislee) and with the draft closing in (i.e. potential suitors might draft an RB, limiting his options even more).

I would for sure rather have AP at $3M than Gillislee at $4M + a 5th round pick. That's a complete no-brainer.

It appears that the best GM in the league disagrees with you.

Bastages SO don't want Gillislee to get a ring!

Wikipedia page says he's a Patriot. That's never wrong!

Confirmed by the real Schefter.
