Hogan, Mitchell, Hightower and Ninkovich on SC/First Take

So. McCourty basically had one foot in Philadelphia and he ended up staying..

Love the sig

Watched the vids, except the first one. Less than two minutes into it and I had to stop. That blonde guy sucks at interviewing.

Hightower has always been low-key. Hell, if you can't tell that just by watching these interviews, I don't know what to say. I don't see much to read into, as far as his future with the team. We will see.

I think it's too early to say High is out the door. I'm sure he's very uncertain about his future right now, but remember Vince and Mankins both looked like they were out the door multiple times during their tenures, and ended up getting their big deals.

Yep, it could be a contentious negotiation, but it doesn't really mean much in the long run. Mankins may not be a "Pat for life" but Wilfork definitely is, and I can't wait to see him wearing the red jacket.

Love all these hot takes about Hightower being a "b*tch" for wanting to get paid. If he was a turd on the field I'd agree. Go watch any of the various NFL film clips of the game last Sunday- or just watch him plowing over Matt Ryan a few times- and tell me this guy isn't either a leader or clutch. Give me a break. Hope he stays, but if it doesn't work out the Pats have a truck load of cap space. They'll have a plan.
