I assumed he'd be out the door to a team where he'd be given a chance at an even bigger role--but then, I assumed the same about Duron Harmon when his rookie contract was expiring.
I don't think they have the money for Thuney. Yet I feel strangely confident that they're going to get a long-term deal done. It's been a long time since the Patriots have failed to secure a second contract with a home-grown player who has been everything they hoped for, on and off the field. The core players -- the Mayo, Wilfork, McCourty, Hightower types -- get their deals. Thuney seems like one of those players to me.
Flowers ring ring
I would think Van Not gets extended/restructed to fit in AB now. I don't know how much time they have to do this to be within the cap rules.
Hightower’s contract runs through the 2020 season.McCourty and Hightower are off the books next season so why not.
I’d suspect his last year in NE.Hightower’s contract runs through the 2020 season.
We’ll see. He’s a team captain, Belichick has called him Mr. February, and he and Bentley are the only LBs currently under contract for next season. I think BB values Hightower and his contributions more than a lot of people here do.I’d suspect his last year in NE.

I’m sure they tried until his agent told BB how much he was offered by the Lions. I don’t miss Flowers one bit given what they’ve done that money.Ouch, how quickly I forget! Yep, he's something of an exception. I wonder how hard they tried to keep him.
Still, I have a feeling about Thuney, I think they'll get him done. Though I've been wrong before...like, say, five minutes ago.
I value his contributions. He’s great in the most important times. But, he plays LB, has had injuries, and we’re talking about 2020 : in two seasons. I’d be over the moon if he can give NE twoWe’ll see. He’s a team captain, Belichick has called him Mr. February, and he and Bentley are the only LBs currently under contract for next season.
