Source is Justin Ramos? lol
With GB offering the vet minimum, maybe we can offer more with a few incentives?

Maybe just posturing from OBJ’s camp but:
It’s not the money it’s the roster slot. The way I’m looking at it is you can pay Agholor for being nonproductive while taking up a roster slot, or you can pay him for being nonproductive and not taking up the roster slot that you then use for someone productive at a cheap price.Cutting Agholor saves you less than 0.5M this year so makes no sense. He also has 5M guaranteed salary on top of 5M prorated signing bonus next yr. Better pray he starts producing
Cutting players at this point doesnt save you much cap. Also they can easily create enough to sign OBJ if they want to and more importantly - if he wants to..

look at it this way, would you rather have Agholor’s cap hit with him on the roster and not producing, or take the cap hit and cut him to sign OBJ at the prorated vet minimum? At the end of the day which gives a better shot at winning?
edited to add: cap is only part of it, 53 roster slots is the other critical limit.
This is how I expect it to go on Patsfans in 24 hours.
If OBJ signs with our team: "You know.. I have always sorta secretly loved OBJ"
If OBJ signs elsewhere: Our team is better without OBJ. Screw him!
It has happened before though. There was a lot of smoke regarding the Brandin Cooks trade (to us) before It happened. But it is definitely atypical. And the notion that it’s his agent / other rep getting the Pats‘ name out there to increase offers or get other offers certainly makes a ton of sense, especially knowing that Mike Florio’s main sources (but not exclusive) are agents.The more I hear the Pats namedropped the less I think it's likely he's coming here. These leaks aren't coming from the team - they don't do that.
Could be wrong this time but I doubt it
If Brady were here OBJ would of been a Patriot yesterday.
