Joe Thuney

Patspurs · Sep 10, 2019

I believe he was the only OL who had a clean game on Sunday night.

For the first few years of his career, it was his versatility that made him invaluable. When you combine that with the level of skill he is now showing, we need to lock him up asap. Let's not forget that on some of the key SB snaps, he won his 1 on 1s with Donald as well.

When more one dimensional players are attracting the mega contracts, I am concerned we may be priced out of the market for him.

What do we think his market is?

There is still the remarkable stat that he has been to a Super Bowl in every pro season he has played. Let's hope that continues this year!

“Need” is strong. We “needed” Law, Seymour, Flowers...

I would love to see Thuney in NE long term, but I sense he will get bigger bucks elsewhere.

RobertWeathers · Sep 10, 2019

He's gone. Enjoy and appreciate his play while we can

I think we may hold on to him (for the right price). I don't want to be remaking the line for the next 2-3 years. The market for Thuney shouldn't be that big amazing but there will be some interest.

LG is the least valuable OL position usually and he has never been a great run blocker. I'm a big believer that the value in OL comes paying for solid players (not usually great) across the board and finding a well priced LT.

OL is one of those things where one bad player can mess everything up and 1 great player can only do so much. I think Thuney (if paid what he is worth) is good value for what he brings.

I expect within the 5-6M range to be reasonable and I hope we can get him for that. I think they would be happy to pay it and I would be happy for them to pay that.

farn · Sep 10, 2019

Everyone here would pounce on 5-6M. Try 10-12M. That is more in line with what we are looking at. Especially with former Patriots employees all over the League.

PatsFan2 · Sep 10, 2019

Maybe he likes winning that's all we can hope. That could make him re-up. That said if he plays well at RT the skys the limit for his earnings.

You can't be serious.

This is fantasy.

Mason got 9 million with a much lower team cap number.

5-6 million is crazy.

10 million is a hometown discount.

How are you posting here from 2008?

TomPatriot · Sep 10, 2019

Thuney will probably get something in the neighborhood of what Saffold and Norwell made - $11-13m per year.

BelizePats · Sep 10, 2019

When he departs in free agency I'd be very surprised if he didn't net us a 3rd or 4th round pick comp pick. He will be cashing in elsewhere in the same manner that Brown and flowers did.

The reality is that there are a good number of bad teams out there with cap money to burn.

That would put Thuney in the 32-24 salary range among guards. I expect they would be ecstatic, possibly even delirious, to pay it. It will also never happen.

upstater1 · Sep 10, 2019

I like Thuney, but -- for the Patriots -- he will not be worth the money others will pay him. They'll draft a guard and plug him in, and give Dante a big raise to stick around another year.

willard · Sep 10, 2019

The rest of the league pay$ their re$pect to Dante for our free agent offensive lineman.

Thuney has worked hard, been injury free, started three super bowls, gotten better every year, shown his versatility. He is going to get paid. Way salaries are structured in NFL sometimes wiser to stay with your team for less as you end up earning more, so there is a very slight chance he stays. We have drafted his likely replacement in Froholdt if he leaves.

Sure glad we have him again at a low salary number. Who says the Patriots can't draft?

he is terrific but not a Patriot beyond 2019

Jonathan Jones just signed a three year extension at numbers I did not think possible after seeing what other slot corners received this off season.

Justin Coleman received $9 million - 4 years., while Jones, who is better now than he was when the Pats cut Coleman over him agreed to 7 million per.

Why not Joe Thuney?

how did i miss this news?!? no wonder we shipped off our other two young CBs, it makes sense it was tied to a jones extension

i think we offer joe just a tad more than shaq b/c its two years later. if he accepts or not who knows, but i believe we will def offer something like $11/$12M/yr, then look to get new RT as the next replacement
