Emmanuel Sanders visting today

[Brady_to_Moss]

The problem I see here is that we have until tomorrow to decline Lloyd's option, but the Steelers have five days to sign Sanders' offer sheet.

If we pick up the option and get Sanders, then we are on the hook for a very expensive 5th target at best. If we decline the option and Pittsburgh signs the offer sheet, we are out both Lloyd AND Sanders and starting Donald Jones.

Now I like Donald Jones more than most, but that is a baaaaaad situation.

The pats offer to sanders already dictated what they are going to do. They know right now if they are cutting lloyd or not based on this offer.

They know pitt can't offer 4-5+ a year for him with their cap issues. Pats may have offered him a good amount planning on dropping lloyd and saving $3 mill.

I think pats offered sanders a deal that pitt cannot match

It was reported Lloyd and the Pats were working on a restructuring today. Or at least it was reported Lloyd was willing to do it to stay. If they let Lloyd go it means they didn't come up with a a new deal yet before the deadline of when the bonus decision is do. But I fully doubt if it was to happen Lloyd is completely gone, they would just continue hammering out a deal.

Brandon Lloyd got his chance... he failed to impress. I'm down with giving Sanders a shot. Always seemed like an underrated guy

Which almost like swapping Lloyd's cap hit to Sanders for next year.
