I totally understand how practical it is to be away on a scouting trip while maintaining contract administration functions and I probably didn't preface my question clearly. I'm not suggesting that Cesario couldn't be the contract lead simply because he was away but the fact they are away made...

Yes, I'm quite sure Bill is kept in the loop and has final say but I'm assuming he is not the actual lead. Maybe he is but curious if anyone is aware of someone else...Miguel?

With Bill Belichick and Nick Caserio away and this week being the final week before free agency, I was curious who is the contracts lead for the Patriots. I know Floyd Reese had that part of this job description when he was here but I'm not aware of anyone that has a similar title and Michael...

I'm not dismissing the importance of the 3rd down back but I just don't believe the Patriots are going to match what other teams are going to pay. And I'm sure Brady would have liked to have kept Mankins last year but he doesn't make personnel decisions.

Regardless of what happens to Vereen, I don't see Bush here. Wrong side of 30, injury history and I doubt the Patriots would offer anything close to what some other team will. Tyler Gaffney and James White - unproven, potential, cheap, young. I'm looking forward to seeing them on Sundays.

I like Ridley but I don't think he will be a priority for the Patriots. Unless the market is low for him, I doubt the Patriots match any offers. Blount's contract is pretty low and I can't see them offering even that amount to him. I think something similar can be said for Vereen. If someone...

I would agree with you except that the league has fallen on its own sword. The attempts to leak damaging information implicating the Patriots has been met with not only refuted reports but ones that clearly put the league in the crossfire. Had these reports not been leaked, it would have been...

While I would argue that the Kravtiz report is what set everything off, the Mortenson report caused it to explode and prompted the judgements and press conferences and the reports that contradicted Mortenson's were not met with revised judgements from those already determining guilt. As far as...

Why would the league have interviewed Baltimore players regarding this investigation? Don't give up on your theory just yet.

Interesting. I did not know that Ravens were interviewed regarding the investigation. When did Harbaugh disclose this? Why hasn't the press been all over this (Oh wait... I was thinking they are critical reporters and analysts of facts...strike that). I would say your hunch has merit. Why would...

Does anyone know or heard of the basis on which Grigson notified the league of their concerns about the footballs before the game. Given that the league stated that the results and facts will be made public at the conclusion of the Wells investigation, I would expect to find out who Grigson...

Very! Who did Grigson alert at the NFL office. Was that not asked of him? Did he leave a message on the main line during after work hours? So Blandino says he wasn't aware of this and the officials did not record the PSI levels before the game. This would be consistent with typical practices...

Not so sure about that. Kraft is the Chairman of the Broadcast Committee so I think its reasonable to assume that he was more responsible than Goodell for negotiating these deals. Plus Kraft has demonstrated already (business and union) his negotiating skills.

Here is a quote from the ESPN piece: "The alternate official, Greg Yette, became suspicious when he noticed that the football McNally handed him did not have the proper markings on it, three sources said. One of those sources added that Yette found it surprising that the officials' locker room...

I read the article to mean the locker room attendant gave the official in charge of special teams footballs an unapproved football (the ball didn't have a k on it). So this ball would have been used for special teams play, not a play run by Brady. Not really sure how this is relevant to the...

Great video. Regarding the Seahawks fan post, its interesting but not surprising given the reaction to Deflated footballs that this guy didn't really know the details of Spygate other than it was some form of "signal stealing". So his starting point is "Belichick's history" which is then what...

The interior pass rush is the obvious area for improvement but I don't see a DT drafted at 32 being the answer. The big bodies generally aren't pass rushers and if they are, none of them are around at 32. I think improving the 3rd down pass rush with specific skill sets is a better starting...

Ken, I understand what you're writing about here but as we all know, the pick or rub or shield is a grey area and after watching the replay, Browner initiated contact immediately at the snap and while Kearse was then attempting to head up field while still engaging Browner, his head was turning...

Please elaborate.

I think Kevin Costner should have asked Bo Callahan in Draft Day: "Bo, whose career would you rather have, Peyton's or Tom's?" And if Peyton is the answer then thanks for playing, good luck with your career cause we're looking for winners.
