Yeah, I assume they dislike that Danny got hurt...but not really how it works.The concept is difficult for some to grasp.

I don't think so. SD offered him much more than was his value here ala Givens years earlier. He would have been a fool not to take it..... He left on good terms and is well respected as a guy who left it all on the field.....Sucks. One of the few guys I'd say BB miscalculated on.
I recall it being an offer the Pats should have been very comfortable matching, but admit I'm not sure on the specifics so I'll take your word for it.I don't think so.

Why are people clicking <dislike> on that post? FPS people.
I guess it was because with Vereen, Ridley and Bolden at the time --the amount he got from SD, $3.5 million over 2 yrs was likely more than the Pats had budgeted..I recall it being an offer the Pats should have been very comfortable matching, but admit I'm not sure on the specifics so I'll take your word for it.
Danny had a great career. I can't think of many guys who have come back from two acl's.I saw that, and it sucks. His second ACL tear.
Hopefully he bounces back. For a little guy now 31 years old who relies on quickness, that cannot be an easy road.
Yeah it wasn't a huge contract but Vereen had proven ready to take over that role in the offense (see Houston playoff game). They would have been paying for a redundancy, but I suppose that could've been really helpful since Vereen broke his wrist in the first game that next year.I guess it was because with Vereen, Ridley and Bolden at the time --the amount he got from SD, $3.5 million over 2 yrs was likely more than the Pats had budgeted..
