DRAFT Welcome to New England - Illinois Edge Gabe Jacas! (2nd round, #55)

Old friend Cassius Marsh just retired. Why didn't the Patriots offer him a contract? Woulda made sense with jacas holding out!
/s
 
I would guess the patriots don't want to break new ground and give over market guarantees and/or they won't give guarantees to a player that wasn't transparent about his injuries.

Or any guarantees, I hope.

Who says he wasn’t transparent?

The fact that he is the only 2nd Round picks without a contract. Only non-QB in first 2 Rounds not signed. Why would there be a contract standoff otherwise.

The Pats owe Jacas $2.75M at signing. Since Jacas can not practice, a cheap owner might delay signing the player to put off making the $2.75M payment until such time that the player is healthy.

Agree, or if he failed to disclose the extent of his medical issues and now the team/owner is pissed...

Now its fully on the Pats to have evaluated his medical situation before drafting him, but if they feel Jacas was hiding stuff, I am sure they are not thrilled and not looking to do him any favors.

I agree. Either the guaranteed payment is being delayed or they are upset because of the extent of the injuries, like Jacas' team might not have said he was going in for a procedure.

I can think of many reasons. Why would it be worth it for the team to not sign him because of that? To prove they are mad? Come on
 
If this keeps up during training camp, he's going to fall too far behind - even with the JAG's.

I don't want this turning into a Shawn Crable situation.

@captain stone remember Derek Rivers? That was another guy who was hyped up, but couldn't leave the ice tub. Not an Edge guy, but Tyrone McKenzie was another player who barely played. Cameron McGrone was a big whiff this board was hyping up recently.

Do we know this to be the case, that he wasn't transparent?

Honestly sounds like he made a bad choice wrt agent. It's hurting him and the team at this point.
 
About 3 weeks from commencing TC anything new on Jacas?
Haven't seen any news on him in a while now.

it's going suck if he's a TC Holdout: that doesn't bode well for Patriot Rookies.

Rivers was a Reach just like Mapu: BB record in the Third Round overall is as abysmal as his WR Drafting.
