And DEMANDING a trade...
Wouldn't cost two first rounders now....we can sit out on this one until the trading deadline in October though....
Best option?I'm skiddish about him but he is the best option. Here's to hoping there is something else we can do via trade. If not I think you have to consider it.
This is where reality will set in for us until we're legitimate contenders again. All the details in free agency that got overlooked for years when we were rolling out of bed to 12 wins a year are all relevant again. Cold weather, higher taxes, 45-60 minutes into the city. Not make or breakers for a winning team but when you and another bad team are competing for a guy sometimes you need to overextend to make up for those factors.Seems to me they would have to offer him an overwhelming contract to get him from Jax. And the sad fact of the matter is that due to taxes, they have to offer him 9% more than Jax just to equal his take home pay.
So in order to really overwhelm whatever Jax offers, NE would have to go ridiculous, which ain't gonna happen.
Your Ridley Pats Jersey will be on me thanks don't mention it.Best option?
The Pats are in a rebuild and this draft class is loaded at WR.
I’ll just cross out “Schuster” and write “Ridley” on it in crayon.Your Ridley Pats Jersey will be on me thanks don't mention it.
On the free agent marketBest option?

I understand that if they wait a couple of days, Ridley going back to the Jags makes it a new contract and then they only have to give the Falcons a 3rd round pick instead of 2nd rounder. I suspect him going back to the Jags is a done deal and they're just waiting to sign it to only have to give up a 3rd rounder. So, it's time for the Pat's to go to Plan B (if there is a Plan B).Seems to me they would have to offer him an overwhelming contract to get him from Jax.

Where are you coming up with 9%? State income tax in Mass is 5%. Secondly, it’s no where near as big an issue as you’d think. Taxes are paid based on the location the game Is played in. So it only effects half games.Seems to me they would have to offer him an overwhelming contract to get him from Jax.

5% Mass. state tax + 4% Mass. millionaires tax after 1st millionWhere are you coming up with 9%? State income tax in Mass is 5%. Secondly, it’s no where near as big an issue as you’d think.
Jacksonville plays 13 games next year in states with no state income tax.Taxes are paid based on the location the game Is played in. So it only effects half games.
C'mon man. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.Where are you coming up with 9%? State income tax in Mass is 5%. Secondly, it’s no where near as big an issue as you’d think. Taxes are paid based on the location the game Is played in. So it only effects half games.
