Crossen might be a bit small to play OT.

Lol I was thinking there must be another Crossen I don't know about.

Is there a way to recoup this guy SB? It is not fair to sign a contract and say bye and keep the money...

It would be ethical for him to pay it back and appropriate for the league to provide relief.

d%#*!@t. I looked forward to having the tackle depth.

I believe the tradition is one run up the hill after practice before announcing retirement.

Oh well.
Who had Veldheer in the retirement pool?

An emotional day

We hardly knew him.

Now hes gone.

Thanks for the memories, Jared. Doesn’t feel long ago that you first came through that door. You may be gone, but your contributions have been stitched into the Patriots fabric forever.

Howe just tweeted re: the 750k, "It's up to him, but the player usually ends up keeping it.". Now, there's some ethical tradition...

Was that him in the final Game of Thrones council in the dragon pit?

Unless he retires prior to t-camp. We haven't had one of those in a few years

Maybe Gronk got to him about movies and wrestling?

I'm sorry but that disgusts me.

...and I don't care if BB told Wayne to keep the $400k, he still should have given it back.

Will he beat Richard Seymour to the Pats Hall of Fame?

Meh, he probably should give it back, but this doesn't bother me that much. Players have so few points of actual leverage in the NFL, and many of them don't live great lives after the game. It sucks for the Pats, but I'm not going to begrudge a player for keeping every cent he can for retirement life until the team/league makes him do otherwise.

borisman said:

Ummmm, WTF is this? How often does this happen with other teams? There should be a holiday named after these veteran signs/veteran retires signings.

Maybe we should set this up as an annual betting event.

Barry Sanders and Megatron would like to discuss that with Mr. Howe.
