Pre-Free Agency 2023

[Sciz]

The Keenan Allen rumors only really lasted a few days, but they can officially end now.

 

[Family]

This is the free agency version of false start.

 

[Ring 6]

Geno Smith did not get $35M - that 3 year for $105M report embellished. It is realistically $25M per year.

How do you get paid 105 mill over 3 years at 25 mill per year?

You don't... 30 million of the deal is incentive based... Don't know what is ltbe and what isn't

 

[p8ryts]

And some here want to resign this douchebag?

That's not a bad price.

 

[Real fan 02]

Yeah that hasn’t been how the Pats have operated since I became a fan in the 90’s but anything is possible.

Well with the news Rodgers may be coming to the AFC east... this changes everything. I like Mac and believe in him.. however the question I'd ask is do we trade for LJ?..

 

[Love The Drake]

Or go up for Levis or Richardson?

14 is a good chip to make a aggressive move.

My preference would be

1.Levis
2. Richardson
3. Grayson Mcall
4. Lamar Jackson
5. Baker Mayfield.
6. Drew Lock
7. Herndon Hooker
8. Max Duggan
9. Bailey Zappe
10. Mac grows a arm.

I don’t think it changes anything. The Pats have never been an organization that reacts to other teams splashy moves, they focus on their own team and how to improve it regardless of what the teams around them do.

I think it’s extremely unlikely they trade for Jackson.

We need strengthen our secondary we know Rodgers will get a roughing the passer call for breathing on him.

There is $30M in incentives. So it is actually a 3 year $75M deal (75/3 = 25). $40M guaranteed, so a low guarantee - he could be cut after 2 years.

 

[Ring 6]

A lot also depends on what those incentives are and how attainable.
Ltbe or nltbe is only for accounting purpose on the cap. Ultimately and to the player all that matters is achieved or not.

That doesn’t mean it’s only 75mill though. It depends on how attainable the incentives are. Given the numbers and the qb market I doubt they are difficult to attain.

i look at the extra 30 million as the "respect" part of the contract, and highly doubt he will achieve all of the incentives, whatever they are...

You can doubt if you wish. I depend on guarantees. It could be a 1 year $40M, or 2 year $50M contract. The agent released a news story about a contract at its maximum value.

That is true... I am hopeful for Ramsey but my hopes are fading.. I don't want to see Marcus Jones on the outside at corner.. I get ellis Hobbs flash backs.. either slot CB/WR is what I'd like..

We need some 6ft CBs on the outside.. love jack jones.. he'll only get better.

Creating cap for AR.

BB was apparently a big fan of Berrios and a bit sore at not being able to find a way to keep him

 

[Ross12]

Was only playing on about a $5M salary this year. I'd definitely entertain bringing him in for in a 2 or 3 year deal for somewhere around that range. 3 years/$21M? He fits a role they need.

 

[Zuma]

I hope the Patriots investigate. BTW ...
