I think you answered your own question.Miguel said:Why is it when a Patriot player is expected to leave, it is also thought that his new team will be overpaying for him??? I would think what happened with Derrick Mason would convince Patriots fans that this organization is willing to spend $$$??The Pats offered more money to Mason that did the Ravens.
Yes the Pats are willing to pay 'top dollar' based on their assessment of the player. If another team assesses him higher, they will pay more.
Theoretically, if he is your guy, and you can judge personell well (which I think no one would dispute about the Pats) the other team would be overpaying.
Not a lock, because the other team may assess him better, but I think history shows that the players that walked from here didnt live up to their contracts, more often than not.
