It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I'd send a second and 4th for the 2 bengalsJared Cook still hasn't official signed or agreed to commit to a deal with the Saints in principle has he? The Pats need a big vet addition and the only guy left in FA is Jared Cook. If they don't get him they have no choice but to make a trade. I wonder who they can realistically get in that case.

I think the story reported by multiple outlets was that they “aggressively courted him,” prior to his decision to join the Saints, although Florio did add another story later in the evening after the Gronk announcement explaining that they could theoretically make one last push because there hadn’t been a signed contract, yet.Whoever might be available. According to Profootballtalk.com, Jared Cook has not signed with the Saints. Mike Florio posted today hours before Gronk retired that the Patriots were still involved with Cooks.
I can’t help but think there’s a connection there someplace. Sunday at 6 pm is a weird time to announce a retirement. But, it’s Gronk, so who knows.
There were reports from last week that they were coming closer in their negotiations, but there were other interested teams in the hunt.Why hasn't Ghost been signed?
That's fine, I agree but we can't continue to lose these key guys. We need Ghost. He's our #1 point scorer.There were reports from last week that they were coming closer in their negotiations, but there were other interested teams in the hunt.
Belichick just isn’t going to stray from his value system or we wouldn’t be losing out to guys that could’ve helped the team like Humphries, Beasley, Cook, etc. He’s going to do what he’s always done and play hardball in the negotiations, and that includes longtime kicker Gostkowski, too.
Especially when you consider the idea of it being a smaller type of pact compared to many others, but Bill is going to be stubborn so we have to just trust the process and hope that he’s signed soon.That's fine, I agree but we can't continue to lose these key guys.

Probably more about making him happy.Just seen that the Pats have restructured Bennett's two year deal to give him more guaranteed money all so that they can clear $700k in cap space this season. Seems like a big commitment for such a small cap space. I'm sure someone more clued up can explain and will no doubt say it's a great deal.

It’s a better deal than signing Trey Flowers long term. He’s a good player, but that contract he got was just horrendous. Bennet, who Flowers’ playing style has been compared to, is the better version of Trey Flowers - just older.Just seen that the Pats have restructured Bennett's two year deal to give him more guaranteed money all so that they can clear $700k in cap space this season.

If it keeps the player happy then such a small increase is worth it. I'd also like to give Edelman another million for this year just cause he deserves it.
