Conflicting report: Patriots are NOT expected to tag Trey Flowers

[Love The Drake]

Hey OP. You ****ing *******. Stop posting 12up crap. It's a clickbaiting site. You're keeping them alive. You *******!

So 12 up is not legitimate at all?
This sports show Board I follow on Twitter and Facebook people share stuff from that site regularly.

Trey Flowers is a KEY cog in our defense. Losing him would be devastating considering there is no player in the draft or Free Agency that compares to what Flowers have done in our defense.

REPORT: Patriots Not Expected to Franchise Tag Trey Flowers

This is saying Mike Reiss’ opinion is the source.
I haven’t seen/heard Reiss give his opinion.

WTF, this latest POS 12up 'report' gets it own thread from the same 'member' that gave us the equally douchey thread from the same asshats earlier today? WTH happened to the patsfans practice squad? Anyone posting blind links to crap clickbait sites might benefit from spending a little time 'honing their skills' there.

This bs makes mosslost (or no) look like friggin Shakespeare

 

[Deus Irae]

What a goddamn joke. So now every time someone gives an opinion about something like this, some other publication will put REPORT in its headline to get mass clicks.

Welcome to 21st century journalism!

Cool really hope people continue to post more breaking Patriots news from very credible Macedonian content farms and Twitter accounts with 12 followers

I have an inside source that says they will either tag him, sign him to a new deal, or let him go.

The good old “magic 8 ball” never lies.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! Something on the internet isn't true???



What's next...local singles don't actually want to meet me?

Obviously not. Do you even bother reading the **** you post? If you did you'd see 12up is totally clickbaiting. And if my memory is correct I've seen 12up do this before!

To be honest I crave Patriot news I eat it up and post it as soon as I see it.
I will do a better job vetting the legitimate from the garbage.
Have they ever broke any Pats news before any legitimate reporter?

I haven’t seen/heard Reiss give his opinion.

He has posted his opinions for all 32 teams. He believes that patriots will franchise no one, although Gostkowski could be franchised if a deal isn't reached.

 

[Joker]

yeah...I said that last month. Doubt Bill uses the franchise tag. He last used it in 2015 on Gost. Now he MAY match an offer to one of these players but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[luuked]

I dont think anyone actually expects Flowers to get tagged. Least likely offseason move by a large margin.

Sharks of Vegas. FTW.

FYI you all.. Matthew Hull, the author of this report, is a Senior at Cornell U, a social media guy.. always consider and figure out who is spouting this verbage.. his success is measured by how many clicks he gets. The guy said??? Gotta be better than this..

 

[long distance]

OP aside..

1. Flowers might be the best BB DE on/off field (in the league / currently)
2. Paying top edge money for BB D/DE is not economic
3. BB is economics major

Can't really keep the hopes up . He is getting softer though (BB i mean)..

The thing that makes this decision different than most other DEs in BBs history is that there is a good chance that Flowers is internally pretty highly evaluated given his versatility.

There is a better chance than in a long time that we will see a big extension. All about how crazy the market gets.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

I posted they'd tag Gostkowski yesterday not Flowers, looks like that's the way they're leaning.

I think that makes sense which how much BB values good special teams.

 

[Nunchucks]

Flowers is not worth the franchise tag. He is a good player, but he is not worth that kind of money.

I think we let him walk and sign another DE for about 40-50% of his asking price.
