Ochocinco playing on 1 year deal not extension

[Ring 6]

Why make the assumption that the patriots have made more than a 1 year commitment to either Ocho or Haynsworth?

Because converting the 6mill to part salary part signing bonus and adding years creates cap space. There is no negative in doing so, if the space is needed.

Too early to make predictions about who stays or goes. Or is it?

Anybody can predict the 2012 season. I want to know who we will pick up as a vet free agent in 2018.

Funny that Moss apparently in part retired because the Pats offered him one year and Ocho 3.

$11M (plus 2 future 5th-rounders & a 6th) for Ochostinko & Fat Albert
= a huge waste of precious, valuable cap recources that could've been used elsewhere
to find players who not only could play positions of actual need (deep-threat WR & Pass-Rusher)
but who also put their team ahead of themselves.

We welcome Mr. Borges to the thread.

Mark Sanchez is thrown in to be the back up to Brian Hoyer in a trade for their #1 pick for Ryan Mallet. (Mallet is supposedly pretty good, but Hoyer is HOF bound.)

I know it isn't free agency, but the trade is the big transaction of 2018.
