HIGHTOWER'S BACK!!! (UPDATE: his contract is less than originally reported)

[chumpchange]

As a small side note: I find it really funny that NYJ and PIT both reportedly pulled their offers as soon as Hightower left town. It looks like teams are starting to recognize that they're basically just negotiating on the Pats' behalf, and they really don't like it. One more way in which we're living in everyone else's head.

This will be especially fun when we win the prize this year and tie the Steelers' record six Superbowls.

I guess the signing puts to rest the "Duckboat Theory" that Hightower won't be coming back because he didn't ride in the victory parade.

In other news, God rested on the 7th day so he didn't have to compete with the Pats.

Why would Tom Brady have to compete against the team for which he plays?

I think Hightower made his decision to return to the Patriots when the Jets showed him their trophy case

Spin....spin..... spin.... spin

Ha, wow. For some reason I took the time to read that. Allow me to summarize:

"Hightower didn't get lots of sacks so he's not a big playmaker, ok? Why else would the Patriots have let him go to FA, if he's so great? Overrated. Steelers were too distracted by HT to go after other FA's, whom they wouldn't have signed anyways since they don't usually do that."

He rests on Sunday... so He can watch.

You betta work Ms. Hightower!!!

 

[Schmo]

So spare me the "lol VM is better than HT" posts because they would miss the point.

???? Okay, I'll continue to spare you those posts.

I still think he was a little irked at his contract situation then but clearly not in complete pissed off mode.

Excellent deal, now let's hope Butler suits up for us one way or another.

 

[nowayback]

Great ty, why not more money on front end of his contract with so much cap space ? Or is that stupid of me ?

Strange Collins got more money...Collins was not real impressive.

Because it was Cleveland.

I have some crow to eat there

Not true. Some Jets fans had a Super Bowl Party last night.....After they turned off Madden.

Cupcakes was a slap in the face. They should've served him a layer cake. Stupid Jets.

They could have had the Cake Boss give him custom birthday cakes for every member of his family for life and it wouldn't have mattered. It appears that HT didn't even want a rumor to get started that he was even thinking about going there. I think he was stuck there due to weather and the Jesters got all excited.
