Player Signing Patriots Finally Get Gabe Jacas Under Contract

[DaBruinz]

ticks me off that he missed practice... should have been at the facility ready to go... these contracts don't get done in a vacuum

Yes. It's all Gabe's fault. He shouldn't have protected himself. He should have shown up without a participation contract and risked tens of millions in future salary.

How do you know he didn't have his bags packed and wasn't waiting for the Pats and he to come to a reasonable agreement to get him there???

Defensive schemes have evolved beyond the simple 4-3 / 3-4 schemes of old... He's not a 2 gap player...

It's good he's signed, but he's not starting out ahead of the curve...

Just one man's opinion... Ymmv

How do you know he's not starting out "ahead of the curve"? Do you know that Jacas didn't get ALL-22 video of the Pats to study? Do we know he didn't get the play-book and wasn't studying it the entire time so he could come in prepared?

Let's stop projecting where Jacas may or may not be because none of us ACTUALLY know what he's been doing. Only he and the team know that.

Nobody suggested this. The two scenarios were pointed out in the event this continued to drag out.

Clearly, someone did. @DoubleDeluxe doesn't go around posting things that didn't happen like some long-time posters on this board. I didn't personally see it, but DD has earned my trust in that if he says it happened, it did.

Can you prove that it didn't happen?

Let's see how he does in camp - I'm still open to Clowney for low money but they can now hold off on that. Clowney will probably wait out the pre-season and sign late like he did last year after camp injuries anyways

If the Pats could get Clowney at the same 3.5M that Dallas got but with Incentives, it wouldn't be bad.. We'll just have to wait and see.

In the first quarter after not making the first 3rd and 10

Nah, all over these and other fansites daily… but also and especially on gameday.

I’ve always held the belief things said on gameday threads don’t really count. But if you’re still saying something days afterwards, that’s on you.

Some fans never saw someone playing poorly, it was always a a lack of athleticism. Execution was not even a thing, it didn’t exist or matter.

Too old, too slow, no defense, no talent…from 2014-2019 that was the mantra from local media and a large swath of fans.



Jacas is a beast, I hope he gets healthy and his head dialed in. This team has gobs of talent, even if some talent is less tested. Go Pats!

Ugh me all you want

When did the off season programs start?
how many otas were missed?
and mandatory mini-camp?
What is todays date?

That's how i know.

As for "getting the All-22" fantasy stuff - watching ain't doing.

Was he in attendance ?



Thats how i know

But the team would not allow that, because they did not want to give him any indemnification in case he aggravated the injury.
